[*418] MARSHALL, Ch. J.

The only doubt which the court had, was, whether by the laws of Georgia, the land could be made liable unless the heir was a party to the suit.

We have received information as to the construction given by the courts of Georgia to the statute of 5 Geo. 2. making lands in the colonies liable for debts, and are satisfied that they are considered as chargeable without making the heir a party.

Decrees affirmed.
