M'Loud v. Roberts

4 Va. 443

Opinion

By the Chancellor.

The constant course of the Court is, never to decree a sale of lands, (supposing it to be proper,) in the possession of the heirs, to pay debts, unless the creditors first take an account of the personal assets, except-there be a specific lien, on the lands, and therefore the Court can only order an account, at this time; which was done accordingly.
