Creditors of a defunct, after the first six months, are preferable, according to the dates of their citations, against the executor; though it was pleaded by the competing creditor, whose diligence was first completed, that, from the nature of the thing, a citation, which is only a step of diligence, can give no preference, that it is the first completed diligence, not the first inchoated, that is to be considered. See Appendix.
