Opinion:
Whitfield, J.
An action at law with ancillary attachment brought against Johnston, Trustee, resulted in a judgment for the plaintiffs, and the trustee took writ of error. Where it is sought to subject trust property to the payment of debts chargeable against it, the pro ceeding should be in equity and not by action at law.and attachment.
Reversed.
