The opinion of the court was delivered by
Williams, Ch. J.
In this case the trustees were adjudged chargeable on their disclosures. It appears that Woodruff had, as deputy sheriff, collected on execution in favor of Hicks, one of the defendants in this action, an amount, for which the county court adjudged him trustee of Hicks. The execution, on which he collected the money, bore date September 27, 1843, and was returnable in sixty days; he collected the money within the life of the execution ; and the writ in the present case was served on him, as trustee, on the 29th day of November, 1843.
