CHANCERY.

1. Where a mortgage has been given to a person to indemnify him against
luss or damage as indorser for the mortgagor, and the mortgagee has
been sued to judgment on such indorsement; under a bill in chancery
brought by others having liens upon the land mortgaged, to subject the
same to sale, in which all parties interested are before the court, such
mortgagee has a right to require that the avails of the sale be applied
in discharge of the judgment against him, though he has not actual-
ly paid the money. Kramer et al. v. F. & M. Bank of Steuben-

ville, 253.

2. A court of chancery, on a bill of review, will examine the proof taken in
the original case, where the facts found are not stated in the decree.

a spoliated will. Morningstar et al. v. Selby et al., 345.

6. Jurisdiction is in the Court of Common Pleas, as a probate court. Ibid.

principal is insolvent, a court of chancery will entertain jurisdiction of a
suit brought by the surety for the purpose of reaching credits of the
principal and appropriating them in payment of the judgment, although
the surety has not paid the money. McConnell v. Scott et al., 401.
8. If a bill in chancery be filed against nonresidents, in the county where

the land lies; to enforce a specific performance of a contract for the con-
veyance of the same, and for an account for money expended and labor
performed in improving the land, and the court render a decree merely
for the payment of money, the decree, if erroneous, can only be correc-
ted by bill of review, and cannot be impeached collaterally, in an action
of ejectment. Boswell's Lessee v. Sharp et al., 447.
