In all cases where judgment has been rendered against an administrator in chief of any estate, and such administrator in chief dies, resigns or is removed before the satisfaction of such judgment, such judgment may be revived in favor of the owners of such judgment, or their personal representative, against the administrator de bonis non of such estate on 10 days' notice to such administrator de bonis non; but such liabilities shall only bind the administrator de bonis non to the extent of the assets of the estate which have come into his possession.
