Sec. 52-342. Presentation of debt by attaching creditor to decedent's or insolvent estate.

When any debt due or to become due any person from an estate of a deceased person in settlement as a solvent estate is attached, the attaching creditor may, within the time limited for presenting claims against such estate, present the debt by him so attached to the executor or administrator, which shall be a sufficient presentation thereof. When any debt due or to become due any person from the estate of a deceased person represented insolvent, or from the estate of an insolvent debtor, is attached, the attaching creditor may, within the time limited for the presentation of claims against such estate, present the debt by him so attached to the commissioners on such estate, and may appear and be heard in relation thereto, and shall have the same right of appeal as the defendant; but such presentation and proof of any debt by an attaching creditor shall inure to his benefit alone, and shall not prevent such debt from being barred as against the original owner thereof, if not presented by him.
