324 HAMMOND v. HAMMOND.—2 BLAND.
But in equity such estates, whether dependent on a term for
years, an estate for life, or an estate tail, are deemed to be of some
from the time of notice, their claims, and all the vouchers thereof, to the
Chancellor.
The plaintiff James Hindman, by his petition, stated that Hannah Clay-
ton, grandmother of the defendant, in whom was an estate for life in the
lands which had descended from the said Solomon Clayton to the defend-
ants, was then dead, &c.
HANSON, C., 29th March, 1794.—Ordered, that Peter Edmondson, the trus-
tee, shall, in case the said Hannah Clayton be dead, proceed to the execution
of the trust reposed ia him. in the same manner as if the said Hannah had
made to him the conveyance in the said decree mentioned; and shall, in all
respects, observe and follow the directions of the said decree. And it is
further Ordered, that, in case the sale of the tract of land called Neglect,
shall not produce a net sum sufficient to discharge the just claims exhibited,
or to be exhibited to the Chancellor, the said trustee shall proceed to make
sale of such part as may be necessary for that purpose of the residue of the
real estate, of which the reversion or remainder descended from or hath
been devised by the said Solomon to the defendants, or any of them; and
which, by the death of the said Hannah, the right of possession hath de-
volved on the said defendants, or any of them. And the trustee, in making
such second sale, shall proceed in the manner prescribed for the tract of
land called Neglect; that is to say, the manner and terms of such second
sale shall be the same as is prescribed for the first sale; and the trustee shall
proceed as prescribed iu the said decree with respect to the notice, return,
bringing money into Court, and conveyance of the property sold. &c.

place since the date of this order.
HANSON, C., 10th May, 1794.—Ordered, that the trustee for the sale of the
said Solomon's real estate shall proceed in the same manner as if the said
Hannah had died before the date of the said order; provided she be now
dead.

on the 10th of December, 1794, absolutely ratified. And Robert Walters
having tiled the voucher of his claim No. 7, he thereupon submitted it for a
decision.

conclusion, that the executor and Orphans' Court, are satisfied of the fair-
ness and legality of the claim.

been submitted, with an application of the trustee for further directions.
HANSON, C., 8th January, 1795.—Claims against the estate of Solomon
Clayton, deceased, established to the Chancellor's satisfaction. , The dates
