GRIFFITH v. BRONAUGH.

The act of 1820, ch 161, only gives a new mode of proceeding in certain cases in
place of a proper bill of revivor.

After a decree to account, or a final decree a defendant may revive the suit; but in
general he cannot revive it in any other case.

In an injunction case, it may be ordered, on petition of the defendant, that the repre-
sentatives of the late plaintiff, on a copy of the order being served on them, pro-

granted as prayed. After which, in December 1820, the plaintiff,
Samuel, died intestate, and administration was granted on his per-
sonal estate to Luke Griffith of Harford county: upon which the
defendant by his petition, filed on the 17th of November 1821,
prayed, that he might be made a party, &c.; and it was ordered,
that he be summoned accordingly. Afterwards, Luke Griffith not
having appeared, the defendant, by his petition filed on the 11th
February 1829, prayed, that Luke Griffith might be ordered to
appear and cause this suit to be revived, or that the injunction
be dissolved.

13th February, 1829.—BLAND, Chancellor.—It appears, that
this defendant, by his petition of the 17th of November 1821,
suggested the death of the plaintiff, and prayed that his adminis-
trator might be made a party, evidently with a view to have the suit
