A debtor of the executory cannot lawfully pay one of the executors-creditors, without the knowledge or consent of the rest, but upon his own peril; and therefore such a payment made to an executor-creditor, whose debt was afterwards reduced, whereof the payer could not pretend ignorance, that payment was disallowed in a process at the instance of another ef the executors-creditors.
