POST v. MACKALL.—3 BLAND. 505

peril. For if the parties have not been all brought before the
Court; or if they cannot be brought before it; because of their not
having any such privity of interest as will warrant the making of

sold, three-twelfths, $584.30. To the complainant for his proper proportion
of Mrs. Tilton's equity, $275.42. To ditto, for his proper proportion of
Edward Gibson's devise, $1,266.06. To ditto, for proper proportion of
Fayette Gibson's devise, sold to Lloyd, $397.79, and to ditto, for balance of
Mrs. Tilton's equity, $525.76. Being equivalent to the before mentioned
whole amount of sales, $15,637.36.

By the aforegoing account the complainant would receive out of the funds
in hand on his claim, the sum of $2.465.03; his whole claim as recoverable
amounts to $3,446.75; leaving still to be provided for, the sum of $981.72; of
which Mrs. Reynold's devise ought to pay $822.96; and Mrs. Bennett's,
$158.76.

Mrs. Tilton's devise sold for $5,137.36; deduct proportion of mortgage
debt, $2,804.17: proportion of costs, commissions. &c. $299.57; leaving a bal-
ance due her of $1,173.90. Of which she repaid to the bank, $176.07;
leaving to be repaid to her by Reynolds and wife, $440.74: and for costs,
$159.01; making $599.75; by Bennett's heirs, $85.02; and for costs. $133,83,
making $218.85; and by Blake's heirs for costs, $179.23.

The following will shew the situation of the estate after the distribution
of the proceeds according to the former account. Debtor—The estate to the
bank, $1,260.59—to complainant, $981.72—to Mrs. Tilton. $997.83; making
$3,240.14. Credit—Due by Reynolds and wife. $2,230.60: by Bennett's heirs,
$533.47; by Lloyd for costs, $120.77: by Blake's heirs for costs, $179.23; paid
by Mrs. Tilton to the bank, $176.07; amounting as above to $3,240.14.

If these views be correct the bank would lose the sum of $1,785.21: but as
there would have been no loss if the mortgaged property had been properly
applied. the bank can come upon the estate only as a general creditor for this
balance; either in its own right, or by substitution; and it is conceived, that
for the amount which is claimed as a general creditor, the plea of limita-
tions, as set up by the devisees, would be sustained; and that the above men-
tioned balance would be finally lost.

In order, however, to meet the views of the bank, in case the plea of limi-
tations should not be sustained, the auditor has prepared the following state-
ments to shew what would be the amount of contribution due from each of
the devisees liable therefor if the claim be sustained. This will be done in
reference to the plea of limitations set up by Clara and James Tilton, and
the right of Mrs. Bennett to have the personal estate first applied; and the
distribution would be made as it was for the complainant's claim as follows:
claim of the bank as a general creditor $1,785.21: Mrs. Tilton would pay
$180.28; Mrs. Bennett $113,61; and Reynolds $826.80: making $1,120.61:
being a loss on Bennett's portion of $582.38; on Clara Tilton's of $82.32;
shewing still a loss to the bank of $664.60.

The auditor has not allowed any of the claims for taxes; because it does
not appear that there was an insufficiency of personal property on the prem-
ises, or in the county; without which proof, they cannot be regarded as a
lien on the realty. And if such proof were produced, it would still be ne-
cessary to shew upon what pieces they accrued, in order to charge the proper
parties with them.

He further reports, that he designs hereafter to file with this report ac-
counts, drawn off in form, containing what is already included in this re-
port; for the purpose of more convenient reference, so as to enable all the
