1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Huston, J.
To understand the matters in dispute in this case, some facts must be premised. I shall give these, from the charge of the court, before whom the case was tried.
In August 1832, a judgment was obtained against James Gray by Longstreth and Cook for a sum of money payable in instalments. Fetterman, the attorney of the judgment creditors, issued an execution, upon which personal property of the defendant, consisting of a quantity of hardware, was sold by the sheriff.
The execution was set aside by the supreme court, as irregular, in September 1832.
