But I llrongly incline to the opinion of the Prelident, that a {ale by an Executor, under a powerro [ell for the payment of debts, isvalid; andthe purchalizrwill holdtbe lands difchar d from rbegeneul lien in favorofcreditoxs. The prefent oai howe- ver, is notof that defcription ; for, the Will c ly gives apow. ertofellfortbe paymentof legacies; and Inch a falemullbe void as to the eredntom. _ — Bmnu, Prjdmt gf lb: Pliludelplub Common Plea:. Ihave no doubt in tbiscafe. A falc by Executors, under a power to fellfor the pa ment of legacies, is not valid againlt creditors. If the power bad been to ell for the payment of debts, a bona fd: {ale would, in my opinion, be good agoinli creditors, and all the world. . Br ·mn Coeur: Let the judgment of the Supreme Coun be reverfed.
