it stands in force or be reversed by attaint or Writ of Error is final and makes an end of the Suit And here observe 1. That all Judgments are either by Award by Confession by Default or by Tryal Cro. 2.468 2. That a Judgment cannot be depheasanced before it be obtained Cro 1.837 3. That Judgments are much favoured in Law for Judicia in Curia Regis reddita pro veritate accipiuntur et Judicia sunt cantum Juris dicta Judicia in Curia Regis reddita non adnihilentur sed stent in suo robore quousque per errorem aut attinctam adnullentur for Interest reipublicae res judicatas non rescindi et nihil est tam conveniens naturali aequitati quam unum quodque dissolvi eo ligamine quo ligatum est Co. Inst 2. part 360. 4. That if the Plaintiff upon a Judgment dye his Executors or Administrators may not proceed to take advantage thereof or have Execution thereupon till they have first sued out a Scire facias Co. Inst 2. part 288 394. The Method of proceeding in a Judgment is as followeth viz. The Judgment being past the Plaintiff may choose his Execution and to pursue it But he is first to take care that this Judgment be entred in due and legal form which you may see in the Book of Entries Then he must be careful in the choyce of his Execution As for Example If he make choyce of an Elegit it is to be directed to the Sheriff in the form by Law prescribed for which see F.N.B. and the Old N. B. Then the Sheriff having received the Writ must summon a Jury and this Jury is to inquire and return what Fee-simple Fee-tail or for life Lands Goods or Chattels the Defendant had at the time of the Judgment or at any time after And this must be very carefully done the finding must have certainty in it by the quality of the Land as the Mannor of H. a Messuage and 20 Acres of Land Meadow and Pasture in D. in the occupation of J. S. of the value of c. 5. pound Rent c. Then the Sheriff is either at the same time or some time afterward to deliver the one moyety thereof and this last he alone doth without the Jury And herein care must be had that they do it by meets and bounds and that he do certainly describe that which he doth so deliver and that he deliver what is divideable and therefore that he do not divide a Mannor and deliver the moyety thereof for by this means he may destroy the Mannor And if the Sheriff shall deliver too much the Court at the return of the Writ may quash it and order a new Inquiry When the Plaintiff is satisfied by incursion of time the Defendant may re-enter upon his Land without more ado but if he hath received satisfaction by some accidental improvement of the Land there he is to call the party into Court out of which the Writ issued and there to do it by Scire facias Co. 5.38 39. But all Executions are to be taken out within a year after the Judgment else no Execution can be made out without first suing forth a Scire facias Westm 2.45 13 Edw. 1. The Execution upon a Judgment shall relate to the day of the Writs date and the award of the Writ of Execution shall bind all the Goods of him against whom Judgment is which he had at the day of the Execution awarded The Entry of a Judgement may be stayed and arrested if the Court shall see cause That a Judgment may be for a part of the thing only in demand or for the whole That a Judgment may be erroneous and avoidable by a Writ of Error for many causes Cro. 2.303 That after Judgment no Issue shall be taken Cro. 2.126 That when a Judgment is reversed for Error the Party is restored to his first remedy Co. 8.141 The Forms and Presidents of these things vary according as the case requires and being only practicable by Attorneys who are or ought to be well versed therein we will trouble the Reader with them but in the next place shew the several Statutes that speak of the same Stat. Westm 2.18 13 E. 1 That he that recovereth debt or damage in the Kings Court may at his choyce have a Fieri facias of the Lands and Chattels of the Debtor or a Writ for the Sheriff to deliver him all the Chattels of the debtor except Oxen and Plough-Beasts and the moyety of his Land by a reasonable extent till the debt be levied And if he be Ejected out of the Land he shall have an Assise and afterwards a Writ of Redisseisin if need be And this last Writ is called an Elegit which is given upon a Statute also Stat. 32 H. 8. cap. 5. That for all things recorded before the Kings Justices or contained in Fines whether Contracts Covenants Obligations Services or Customs acknowledged or any other things inrolled the Execution shall be within the year but after the year a Scire facias whereupon if satisfaction be not made or good cause shewed the Sheriff shall be commanded to Execution That if Lands delivered in Execution upon just cause be recovered without Fraud from the Tenant in Execution before he shall have levied and received his whole debt and damages he may have a Scire facias out of the Court from whence he had the Execution returnable in the same Court at a day Forty dayes at the least after the date of such Scire facias at which day if the Defendant being lawfully warned make default or do appear and do not plead a sufficient cause other than the former acceptance of the Lands to avoid the said Suit for the residue of the said debt and damages the said Court shall issue forth a new Writ of Execution for the levying thereof Stat. 1 Jac. cap. 13. If any taken in Execution be delivered by Priviledg of Parliament as soon as the Priviledg ceases the Plaintiff his Executors or Administrators may sue out a new Execution against him and the Sheriff or other Officer shall not be chargeable for the first Arrest Stat. 3 Jac. cap. 8. That no Execution is to be stayed upon any Writ of Error or Supersedeas upon it for reversing of a Judgment for debt or upon a Contract till the Plaintiff be bound in Recognizance with two Sureties in that Court in double the Summe of the Judgment to prosecute it with effect and pay the debt costs and damages if the Judgment be affirmed Stat. 21 Jac. cap. 24. That the party at whose Suit any one is in Execution for debt or damages recovered their Executors or Administrators may after the death of the person so charged and dying in Execution lawfully sue forth new Execution against the Lands and Tenements Goods and Chattels of the person so deceased in like manner as if the person so deceased had never been taken in Execution Howbeit this Act shall
not extend to Lands sold bona fide after the Judgment given when the money raised thereupon is paid or secured to be paid to Creditors in discharge of due debts But to return to Execution wherein we are to consider That the Writs whereby this Execution is made are some of them against the person some of them against the goods some of them against the Lands and some of them against the Body Lands and Goods together Co. 6.87 8.141 For the doing of Execution in a Suit for debt or damages the Writs are the Levari facias the Fieri facias and the Capias ad Satisfaciendum and sometimes the Exigent the Capias Utlagatum and the Capias pro fine The Levari facias is a Judicial Writ directed to the Sheriff for the levying of a summe of money upon the Lands and Tenements of him against whom the Judgment is Reg. Orig. fol. 298. The Fieri facias is a Judicial Writ lying for him that hath recovered in an Action on Debt or Damage directed to the Sheriff commanding him to levy the same of the Defendants goods Old Nat. Bre. 152. The Capias ad Satisfaciendum is a Judicial Writ grounded upon a Statute lying where a man hath recovered in an Action personal any debt or damages in the Kings Court directed to the Sheriff to command him to take the body of him against whom the debt is recovered and to put him in prison till Satisfaction be made to him that recovered And all these three last named Writs are to be sued out within a year and day after the Judgment obtained and not after without Scire facias And if they be sued out within the year they may be continued after the year till Execution Co. on Litt. 290. The Exigent is a Writ that lyeth where the Defendant in an Action personal cannot be found nor any thing within the County to be attached or distrained and is directed to the Sheriff to proclaim and call him five County days one after another charging him to appear under pain of Outlawry And if he be Outlawed then all his Goods and Chattels are forfeited And this mostly goeth forth before Judgment and in some cases after Judgment If it be before Judgment there must go before it three Writs of Capias ad Respondendum with a Non est inventus upon each of them returned But if it be after Judgment as it may on a Capias ad Computandum or Capias ad Satisfaciendum there it may issue out after the first Capias Termes del Ley. The Capias Utlagatum is a Writ of Execution or after Judgment which lyeth against him that is Outlawed upon any Suit directed to the Sheriff commanding him upon receit thereof to apprehend the party Outlawed for his contempt in not appearing upon the Exigent and to keep him in safe custody until c. and to bring him into the Court at the day of the return of the Writ where he is to remain without bail or mainprise Co. 12.103 There is also a special Writ in this case called a Capias Utlagatum inquiras de bonis et Catallis which is a Writ in a manner the same with the former but that it gives a farther power to the Sheriff over and besides the apprehension of his body to inquire of and seize upon his Goods and Chattels to the Kings use Old N. B. 154. The Capias pro fine is where a Judgment is given in a Case for a Plaintiff and it is in such a case where the Defendant is also to pay a Fine to the King the which being not paid to command the Sheriff to take and imprison him till he pay his Fine to the King Co. 3.1 2 3. The Extendi facias is that which is called the Writ of Extent whereby the value of Lands c. is commanded to be made and levied For to extend doth signifie in Law to value the Lands or Tenements of one bound by Statute c. who hath forfeited his Bond to such an indifferent rate as by the yearly Rent the Obligor may in time be paid his debt F.N.B. 131. And Extent doth sometimes signifie a Writ to the Sheriff for the valuing of Lands or Tenements and sometimes the Act of the Sheriff upon this Writ And if the Sheriff delay to execute the Writ of Extendi facias in the delivery of Lands Goods and Chattels of the Conusor to the Conusee that are apprised and taken into his hands upon the Extent he may be be forced to it by a Writ called a Liberate The Elegit is a Judicial Writ grounded upon the Statute and lyeth for him that hath recovered debt or damages in the Kings Court against one not able in his Goods to satisfie directed to the Sheriff to command him to make delivery of half the parties Lands and Tenements and all his Goods Oxen and Beasts for the Plough excepted Old Nat. Bre. 152. Reg. Orig. 129 299. The Scire Facias is a Judicial Writ most commonly to call a man to shew cause to the Court whence it is sent why Execution of a Judgment passed should not be made And this commonly is not granted before a year and a day be passed after the Judgment given In which cases for the most part Execution is not grantable until this Writ and the return thereof be had and past Vet.

And here observe That Executions may be arrested and stayed by the Court wherein the Judgment is given By the Common Law for a debt for which a man had Judgement he could have had neither Body nor Lands in Execution in case of a common person but the Goods and Chattels and Profits of the Lands except in case of an heir chargeable by the deed of his Ancestor but the Law is now otherwise for at this day upon a Judgment given for debt or damages in the Courts of Record at Westminster generally the moyety of all the Land that the Defendant hath tempore redditionis judicii or at any time after and all the Goods and Chattels he hath tempore Executionis or the day of the Writ awarded shall be subject and lyable to the Executionâ— and all these may be taken in Execution by the Sheriff into whose hands soever they be come Dyer 306.34 Co. 3.12 34 H. 6.45 The Ca. sa did not lye at the Common Law against any man for debt but in case of the King until 25 E. 3.17 Vide Co. 3. in Sir William Herberts Case How the Sheriff and his Officers are to perform their Office in doing execution the following Observations will shew 1. If the Sheriff have a Writ of Execution delivered to him and a Writ of discharge or Supersedeas come to the Sheriff but he hath not notice of it In this case he may serve

There are divers other Recognizances taken and acknowledged before the Lord Chancellor Master of the Rolls and others as the Justices of the one and the other Bench Barons of the Exchequer Judges of the Circuits Justices of the Peace and Sheriffs some whereof are by the Common-Law and some by certain Statutes And amongst these some are without Seal and recorded onely and some are sealed and recorded also Some of them are in the nature of Bayl and some of them are given to the King and both these are of the nature of the former kind of Recognisances which we will not meddle with but onely those made to subjects and for the payment of money or the doing of some other thing by one subject to another wherein he that doth enter into the Statute or Recognisance is called the Conusor or Debtor and he to whom it is made is termed the Conusee For the better understanding of matters relating to those things we are to observe That the forementioned Statutes are much of the nature of a Judgment had upon a Suit in the Kings-Bench or Common-Pleas and therefore are called Pocket-Judgements 2. That if the Writing be not as good as a Statute it will not be good to any purpose for if void as a Statute it will be void as an Obligation Cro. 3.319.494 3. That a Statute first acknowledged shall be preferred before a Judgment after had So that if a man acknowledg a Statute and after confess a Judgment and the Land be extended on the Judgement the Conusee shall have a Scire facias to avoid the Extent upon the Judgment And yet a Judgment had in a Court of Record shall be preferred in case of an Executor before a Statute and the Executor is to satisfie the Judgment before the Statute And it is held per totam Curiam That be the Judgment first or last it must be first satisfied Co. 6.45 in Higgons Case Plowd 32. Pemberton and Bartons Case Co. 4. in Sadlers Case Dyer 80. 4. If one owe me a Debt upon a Statute and dye his Executor or Administrator must see me paid this debt before â—e pay any debt to a Subject upon a Bond or for Rent or upon a single or simple contract it must be paid next after Debts upon Judgement 5. All Statutes Merchant and of the Staple are to be brought to the Clerk of the Recognizances within four moneths and to be enrolled within six moneths otherwise they will be void as to purchasors 27 Eliz. cap. 4. 6. That a Statute or Recognisance if it be obtained upon an Usurious contract or of purpose to deceive men in the purchase of their Lands or for the obtaining of their just debts they will be void or voidable by this Cro. 2.67 425. 7. That if two do acknowledge a Recognisance or Statute of 1000 l. quilibet eorum in solido this will be joynt and several and the Conusee may have several Scire Facias's upon it And it is said that a special Recognisance may by express words bind the Lands of the Conusor in one County only Co. 2. part Inst 395. 8. If a Statute Staple be not sealed with the Seal of the party that doth acknowledg it yet it seems to be good enough for the Statute doth not require it But a Recognisance within the Stat. of 23 H. 8. cannot be good except the Seal of the party be to it for so are the words of the Statute by three Justices of the Common-Pleas Trin. 22 Jac. 9. If a Statute be made to two and one of them come with it he shall have Execution in both their names And it is the common course that any stranger that comes with a Statute may have Execution of it in the dame of the Recognisee And if after the death of the Recognisee a stranger come in his own name and shew the Statute he shall have Execution of it though as we said the Conusee himself come not in person 10. If the Conusor of a Statute Merchant or Staple c. be taken and he dye in Execution yet the Conusee shall have Execution of his Lands and Goods Or if the Conusor in Execution escape his Goods and Lands shall be taken and executed upon the Statute For the action given to the Conusee against the Sheriff for the Escape is not a satisfaction Co. 5.86 87.

A Writ of Extent was awarded in the time of Queen Mary returnable Quindena Martini the Writ executed by Inquisition in the life of the Queen but before the return the Queen dyed and yet it was returned and a Liberate granted in the time of the next Queen In this case it was doubted by the Court That the Extent was not well returned Dyer 205. 12. In a Scire facias upon a Recognisance Joynt-Tenancy is a good plea to abate the Writ and if it be upon a Judgment to have Execution it is a good barr that the Plaintiff hath assigned his damages to the King although the King have not levied So also it is a good barr to say that the Sheriff hath levied the money by Fieri facias albeit he hath not returned the Writ Moores Rep. 671 693. 13. If an Extent be sued by an Executrix upon a Statute made to her Testator and she dye before the Inquisition taken this Inquisition may as it seems be taken after her death and an Administrator de bonis non administratis of the Testator upon this Extent sued by the Executrix may have a Liberate and shall not need to begin again and have a new Certificate and a new Extent and Liberate Cro. 1.326 But this shall suffice as to those Particulars I will now shew you what is liable to
