Flinn & Jackson v. Fennimore

Opinion of the Court

The Court,

on being informed that such had long been the practice of making levy of writs of fi.fa. on goods and chattels in this county, and of inventories and appraisements of them returned by sheriff, held the levy of the first fi.fa. in this case to be sufficient and binding, and directed the money arising from the sales of the goods and chattels on which it had. been levied, should be first applied to the payment of it.

Comegys, C. J., dissenting.
