““Independently of tire bond, we believe there is an obligation resting on a defaulting testamentary trustee to restore the value of the assets embezzled, which is of a contractual character. The method of recovering on this would be so far purely incidental that the Legislature might at any time provide for an action at common law in behalf of the successor as trustee, whatever might at any time be the preceding remedies either by a suit in equity, or by a suit on the bond, or by a summary order of the court having jurisdiction in reference thereto.””
