Hester v. . Burton

The execution was irregular. If there had been a cessat executis to a certain time, execution might have been taken out after that time without asci. fa., but here no certain time for the stay of execution is mentioned.

If in the present case he can take out execution after the year, there is the same reason for his taking it out after any length of time whatever.

Execution set aside.
