Said Bill states that said Ann Archer
heretofore plead her bill of complaint in
this Court against the Heirs at Law of said
Priscilla Stump, praying for partition or
sale of the real estate Of which said de.
ceased died seized, and that decree was
passed therein, directing the sale thereof
and distribution of the proceeds amongst
her heirs at law. That said lands were
sold by Henry W. Archer, as Trustee,
under said decree, and under a decree
passed in case wherein Charles w. Lee
was complainant, and Priscilla Stump, ct
al, we're defendants, which cause, by an
order passed therein, has been consolida-
ted with this present suit. That after
said sale was made and before the distr-
button Of the proceeds, paper purpolt-
ing to DO the last will and testament of
said Priscilla Stump, was produced "a
copy Of which is fled with said supple
mental Bib and offered for probate in

That among the legatees named in said
pretended will are Sarah Webster, Eliza.

complainant; and that james Williams,
one of the devisees, resides beyond the
limits Of this State.
Said supplemental bill further states
that letters Of administration upon the
personal estate of said deceased have been
duly granted to Herman Stump, and asks
that the assets remaining in his hands
after the payment of debts, may be
brought into Court, so that distribution of
the whole estate Of said Priscilla Stump,
may be made, according to equity and the
rights of all the parties interested. And
said bill prays for an order of publication
against said unknown and nonresident
defendants, giving them notice of the
substance aud object Of said bill and warn
