Daniels v. Mansfield
Daniels v. Mansfield
Opinion of the Court
A judgment which provides that the plaintiff shall recover of the defendant a sum of money, and that the plaintiff shall have a lien against certain specified property of the defendant, is both a general and a special judgment, and the execution which follows the judgment anil commands that the sheriff make of the goods, chattels, lands, and tenements of the defendant, particularly of the property upon which the special lien was established, the sum for which the plaintiff had judgment, is also both general and special; and where, pending the levy of the execution, the plaintiff alters in a material particular the description contained in the execution of the particular property upon which the judgment established a lien, the special part of the execution, directing that the sheriff levy upon the specific property, is invalidated; but such special part, being severable from the general part, and the lien of the general judgment and the general directive of the execution still being of force, the sheriff may proceed to levy upon any
Judgment affirmed.
