delivered the opinion of the court.
“Legatees are liable to a suit in equity by a creditor of the testator to recover the value of any legacy received by them. The suit may be maintained against all the legatees jointly, or against any one or more of them severally. In such suit the plaintiff shall not recover unless he shows:
“1. That no assets were delivered by the executor or administrator * * to his next of kin; or,
“2. That the value of such assets has been recovered by some other creditor; or,
*465 “3. That such assets are not sufficient to satisfy the demand of the plaintiff”: Section 488, L. O. L.
The complaint is silent as to each of these prerequisites. It follows that no error was committed in sustaining the demurrer, and the decree is affirmed.
Affirmed. Rehearing Denied.
