Grantable; in what Cafes; and to whom.

I. IF F executor makes an executor and dies, his executor fhall adminifter the goods of the firft teftator; but contra of executor of an adminiflrator; for if an adminiftrator dies and has an executor, yet his executor fhall not administer to the goods of the inteftate, but they are in the ordinary to commit administration anew. Br. Administrator, pl. 7. cites 34 H. 6. 14.

After verdict for the plaintiff it was moved in arrest of judgment that the judgment against the executor is determined by his death without a teftament, and that A. is not privy to the feire facias against the executor, as if one had recovered as executor and died inteflate, no feire facias lies for the adminiftrator. Three juftices femed that this is well enough, becaufe there is a difference between a recovery against ard by an executor, but Hyde doubted. Judgment was given according to the first opinion. jo. 214. pl. 2. Mich. 5 Car. B. R. Norgate v. Snape.

The hufband died and left his widow within the age of 17 years, [108] and adminiftration durante minore atate was granted to her father, against whom Y. brought an action of debt, and had judgment. father died, and the widow being now of full age and married again, adminiftration de bonis non, &c. was granted to husband and wife, against whom Young, who had the judgment, brought a feire facias, &c. and adjudged well brought, because it is for a debt from the firft teftator; and a diverfity was taken between a feire facias against an administrator of an adminiftrator, and a feire facias by an adminiftrator of an adminiftrator; for if adminiftrator has judgment and dies, the fecond adminiftrator cannot have feire facias because he claims paramount the first adminiftrator who had the judgment, being in by the teftator. But fcire facias may be fued against the fecond adminiftrator on a judgment had against the first adminiftrator, becaufe both claim as adminiftrator to the inteftate, and by confequence both are liable, and fo no inconvenience, but this fcire facias ought to be for the principal judgment only, and not for damages and ccfts. 2 Sid. 122. Mich. 1658. B. R. Young v. Jolland.

5. Adminiftrator obtains a judgment and makes an executor and dies, the executor fhall have a feire facias upon the judgment, and not the adminiftrator de bonis non of the first inteftate. 2 Lev. 101. Pafch. 26 Car. 2. B. R. Drew v. Baily.

6. If feme be executrix and legatee, adminiftration de bonis non ought to be to the bufband; if the be not legatee, and others are, it ought to be given to them; if there be no legacies to next of kin to firft teftator. 12 Mod. 306. Mich. 11 W. 3. Richardson v. Seife.

7. Debt on bond. Defendant pleaded non cft factum; whereupon ifiue was joined, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. It was moved in arreft of judgment that the action will not lie for the adminiftrator of an executor; there must be an adminiftration de bonis teftatoris non adminiftrat' by executor. The Court granted a rule to stay the entry of judgment upon the verdict till further order. Barnes's Notes in C. B. 326. East. 12 Geo. 2.

5. An adminiftrator possessed of a term makes a leafe for years of part of it, referving a rent, and makes his executor and dies; the executor brings debt for this rent; the queftion was, whether or no it would lie, because the reverfionary part of the term did not come to the executor of the adminiftrator, but did belong to the adminiftrator de bonis non of the firft teftator? But the Court did incline that it quould lie upon the contract, though he could not diftrein for it, for the adminiftrator de bonis non could not have it, because he came in paramount the refervation.
