Prime v. Robert McRea’s Executors and Heirs.
    By the laws of Virginia, in 1801, a court of equity could decree a sale of one moiety of the fee-simple of the debtor’s lands in the hands of the heir at law.
    The bill states that the plaintiff recovered judgment in Virginia, against McEea and Mease, for ’ dollars,'and received part from the estate of Mease. That McEea left certain real estate, which he prays may be sold to pay the balance of the debt.
   Upon consideration of the cases of Robinson v. Tongo, 3 P. Wms. 398, and Stileman v. Ashdown, 2 Atk. 608, the Court decreed that half the rents and half the real estate 'should he sold.
