No. 7160.
    Bussey & Co. vs. Nelson & Co.
    Where a suit is pending against a single defendant, who dies, and whose succession is opened in the Second Court, the suit must be removed to that court, but where thex*e are other defendants, and property has been attached, the court originally seized of jurisdiction retains it.
    If the deceased defendant was a non-resident and died out of the State, the court in which the suit was brought may appoint a curator ad hoc to represent his succession and his absent heirs.
