part or the whole of such legacy shall at any time thereafter appear to be wanting
to discharge any debt or debts, legacy or legacies, which the said executor or administrator

or such part thereof as may be necessary for the payment of the said debts, or for
the payment of a proportional part of the said legacies. The bond of a distributee shall be conditioned substantially as follows: That if
any debt or debts, truly owing by the intestate, shall be afterwards sued for and
recovered or otherwise duly made to appear, and which there shall be no other assets
