the aforesaid sum of money with interest, as herein before order-
ed to be brought in by him, or any part thereof, the said trustee,
Thomas S. Alexander, be, and he is hereby authorized and empow-
ered to make sale of the said parcel of land called Abington, upon

Robert Welch, of Ben. and Isaac Holland, administrators of Bar-
rett, by their petition stated, that they had recovered a judgment
against the defendant Elizabeth, as executrix, upon which there
was due $395 05, to secure the payment of which a judgment ob-

and of that parcel of land described in the decree as the residue of
the tract yet undisposed of by the executors. And he subsequent-
