Johnson v. Carlile
Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided August 13, 1801
2 Ky. 69; 1 Sneed 69; 1801 Ky. LEXIS 61

Johnson v. Carlile

Opinion of the Court

In this cause, judgment was rendered for £500 damages, and $9.47 costs, and execution issued accordingly. But the bond taken by the sheriff for the property on which he levied the execution, recites that it was for £500 debt, with interest from the date until paid, and also $9.47; therefore, it is so materially variant from the judgment and execution that it can not be supported.

Wherefore, it is considered by the court that the said delivery bond be void and have no effect, and that the plaintiff recover of the defendant his costs in this behalf expended, which is ordered to be certified to the said court.
