    Prime v. McRea’s Executors and Heirs.
    One half of the real estate of a testator in Virginia is liable for his debts, although not charged by the will. Qucere.
    
    
      Mr. E. J. Lee, for the complainant,
    cited Robinson v. Tonge, 3 P. "Wins. 398, and Finch v. Earl of Winchelsea, in a note to that case, and Stileman v. Ashdoun, 2 Atb. 608. (Cur. ad. vult.)
    
   Cranch, J.,

doubted, whether a decree can be made to sell the real estate of McRea in the hands of his heirs unless there be a mortgage or other lien; or unless the personal estate has been applied to relieve the real.

The Court afterwards decreed a sale of half of the lands and rents.
