The opinion of the court was delivered by

Redfield, J.

The action of account between co-executors does not lie at common law. It is given by statute, and the object and ground of the action specifically defined. "One executor may have this action against another, “ who neglects to pay the debts, &c., in proportion to the estate in his hands.
