The Chancellor

¶1said, that in this case, the allegations in the plea were to be assumed as true, and, therefore, the plea must prevail. No reason appeared why the co-administrator was not made a party. Leave was given to the plaintiff to amend his bill, upon payment of costs. (Mitford’s Tr. 221. 1 P. Wms. 428.)
