Opinion

Per Curiam.

— “ The complainant, at the death of said Elizabeth, had no lien on her personal property. We do not see how the Court can now create one for him. The lien which he might have had, if proper steps had been taken, was lost or never obtained, through his own negligence, or that of the sheriff, or clerk, or of all of them combined. If by his own, he can have no remedy. If through that of either of the others named, his remedy is against them.”

Decree affirmed, &c.
