“The liability of these defendants as devisees and legatees of George Handy is not directly upon the covenants of George Handy, but under the provisions of the statute, as upon a claim which could not have been presented to the executrix and upon which suit could not have been brought against the executrix. The statute provides that such suit shall be in equity where the liability of each of the devisees and legatees may be'properly adjusted according to the estate which they took from the testator.”
