Andrews v. McLeod

Campbell

Andrews v. McLeod

Opinion of the Court

Campbell, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The remedy of the appellant at law was full and complete, not by interposing a claim under § 1774 of the code, but by replevin against the sheriff who should seize the property, to which he would be entitled, because he could not interpose a claim. Section 1774 applies only to executions generally, and not to the special execution under § 2624. Nor could a claim have been made under § 2628 after the final judgment in the replevin suit.

Affirmed.
