A creditors’ suit stayed, on the application of the executors, after a decree in a suit by residuary legatees for the administration of the same estate, notwithstanding there might be inquiries directed in the legatees’ suit, which would not have been necessary in the creditors’ suit; it being competent to the Master to make a separate report, and thereby prevent the payment of the creditors from being delayed by the business of the ultimate administration of the estate.
