Head Matter:
Campbell v. Braxton et al.
Spring Vacation,
1809.
Order Directing Money Brought in Court — How Obtained. — A report, shewing a balance due from a defendant is not a sufficient ground for an order directing the money to be brought into Court. The plaintiff should proceed to a decree which he may enforce by the usual process.
There was a report in this case, which shewed a balance io be due by one of the defendants, as an executor, and Mr. Randolph moved for an order to direct him to-bring the amount thereof into Court.

Opinion:
*By the Chancellor.
This cannot be done: you may proceed on to a decree, which you may enforce as in other like cases, by the usual process of the Court.
Motion denied.
