JOHN NORGRAVE petitions this Court that EDWARD MADDOCK who married the Relict and Executrix of the said Norgrave deced might give security for the performance of the said Will according to the Tenor thereof and farther alledged that Coll. Mason in his lifetime and all the time of his life gave security and that since his decease one of his Sectys is dead also Therefore prays the said Coll. Mason being dead and his Security dead likewise that Doctor Maddocks who is since Intermarried and hath by the Intermarriage the possession and Enjoyment of the said Norgraves Estate may be compelled to enter Bond with good and sufficient security to be accountable for the same according to the bequest of the deced & as the Law Injoynes And Doctor Edward Maddock comes into Court by GERRARD LOWTHER his attorney and refuses to put in Security for these reasons following Vizt. 1. As to the cattle they are paid 2d the Ring is given the Legatee according to the Will 3. As to the negroes they are a personal chattel and a remainder Limited in the Will a Chattel personal is void because if given for one hour they are given forever they are given to Maddock for her life so that the remainder after her decease is void therefore from them no security ought to be given 4. noe Exectr named by the Testator in his will are by Law compelled to find Security for the performance of the Testators Will but we are Exectrs Therefore unless the Law will dispose and Intrust his Estate of the Testator otherwise then he designed we are not obliged to find security for performance of the Testators will and this appears by the provision made by the Laws of this Countrey that admrs shall find Security but no Law does oblige Exectrs 65 act of assembly 21 Henry 8. 15 Vid Title Probates of Testaments in Wingates abrigmt.
