Opinion
The bond in question, having been assigned to Skillington and his wife, and the suit being brought, judgment obtained, and execution issued in the name of both, the money in the hands of the sheriff must belong jointly to the husband and wife, and we conceive, therefore, upon the death of the husband it belonged to the wife.
There was a verdict accordingly against the plaintiffs.
