Reade, J.

In Badger v. Jones & Watson, 65 N. C. Rep. 305, it is said that “ ‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‍for devastavit on the part of the previous administrator, the administrator de bonis non ought tore-, cover the value of the goods and effects ‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‍wasted by an action on the bond of his predecessor.” That is decisive of this. *137 case. It is true that in the ‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‍case cited the administrator de bonis non was allowed to sell the land without a suit upon the bond for the devastavit of personal ‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‍property; but that was put expressly on the ground that the sureties to the-bond were insolvent, which is not alleged ‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‍in the case before us.

There is no error.

Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
