1Opinion of the CourtValliant, J.

This is a suit in equity by a judgment creditor who seeks to have subjected to the payment of his debt, lands alleged to have been fraudulently conveyed by the judgment debtor to the defendant Estes, and the rents and profits arising out of those lands. The petition shows that the judgment debtor is dead and administration is pending on his estate, but the administrator is not a party and the record here also shows that since the judgment in the circuit court the defendant has died and the cause has revived against the administrator of his estate, but his heirs are not brought in.
