Stevens v. Roberts
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided January 12, 1877 · Gray
121 Mass. 555; 1877 Mass. LEXIS 46

Stevens v. Roberts

Opinion of the Court

Gray, C. J.

The execution, bearing date of October 21,1873, and reciting that the judgment was recovered at the term of the Superior Court, held “ on the first Monday of September last, to wit, on the fourteenth day of October,” clearly shows upon its face, notwithstanding the imperfect attempt to repeat the year, that the judgment was recovered on October 14, 1873. The including of illegal fees does not avoid a levy. Holmes v. Hall, 4 Met. 419. Exceptions overruled.
