Executors maybe pursued for fulfilling a contract of marriage, whereby the party contractor is obliged to ware and bestow a certain sum of money upon bond, in conjunct fee, to the two spouses, and the heirs to be gotten betwixt them. It was alleged by the executors, That the bond being heritable, could not be pursued against the executors, till the heir was first discust.
