DE BONIS PROPRIIS. Of his own goods. When an executor or administrator has been
guilty of a devastavit, (q.v.) he is responsible for the loss which the estate
has sustained, de bonis propriis. He may also subject himself to the payment of
a debt of the deceased, de bonis propriis, by his false plea, when sued in a
representative as, if he plead plene administravit, and it be found against him,
or a release to himself, when false. In this latter case the judgment is de
bonis testatoris si, et si non de bonis propriis.
