MILDRED v. NEILL.—This was a creditor's petition, filed on the 25th of April,
1787, by Daniel Mildred and sundry others, against Isabella Neill, widow, Elizabeth
Neill, Mary Neill, Alexander Neill, Callender Neill, and Isabella Neill, the younger
infants, Hercules Courtney, Thomas Neill, and Joseph Donaldson. The petition
states, that the plaintiffs were the creditors of William Neill, deceased, who depart-
ed this life some time in the year 1785, indebted to the plaintiffs, and sundry others,
in divers large sums of money; that he devised his estate to his widow and five
children, the defendants, some of whom are in a state of minority, and incapable of
disposing of the real estate devised to them by their father for the payment of the
plaintiffs' claims; that the testator appointed the defendants, Isabella Neill, the
widow, Hercules Courtney, Thomas Neill, and Joseph Donaldson, his executors,
who took upon themselves the trust; that the personal estate had been fully admin-
istered, and that there were not personal assets to satisfy the plaintiffs' claims.
Whereupon it was prayed, that the executors might account for the personalty; and
that the devisees might disclose of what the real estate of the deceased consisted;
and also be compelled to sell the real estate for the payment of the claims of the
plaintiffs and others, according to law.

Isabella, the widow, by her answer admitted the indebtedness of the deceased and
his will; but alleged, that she bad sued out a writ of dower, and had obtained
judgment thereon to recover her dower. The other adult defendants and the infant
defendants by their guardian ad litem, admitted the debts of the plaintiff's; and speci-
fied the real estate of which the testator died seized. The will of the testator, and
the accounts of the executors settled with the Orphans Court, were exhibited as
parcels of the pleadings.
