bill of conformity

from Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
BILL OF CONFORMITY. The name of a bill filed by an executor or administrator, 
who finds the affairs of the deceased so much involved that he cannot safely 
administer the estate, except under the direction of a court of chancery. 
This bill is filed against the creditors generally, for the purpose of 
having all their claims adjusted, and procuring a final decree settling the 
order of payment of the assets. 1 Story, Eq. Jur. 440.
