Two questions are presented to us upon this application. First. Whether the judgment being reversed on writ of error, we can order restitution. Second, for what sum restitution should be awarded, whether to the full amount, which has passed out of the'hands of the defendant, into the hands of the officer, or only for that sum which has *73passed from tbe officer into the hands of the plaintiff. As rto the first point, where it appears upon record that the money has been levied and paid over to the plaintiff, the court will order the restitution. But where it does not appear by the record, there the party seeking restitution, must sue out a scire facias quare restitutionem non ; and to this the party may plead; and in Lilly’s Entries, will be found the form of the plea.

In this case it does not appear upon tbe record that the money has been paid, and at the common law a scire facias would be required ; and we see no authority to change this practice. The affidavits cannot be said to be such record.

As to certioraris, to justice’s court, upon the reversal of a justice’s judgment, we do not put the party to the necessity of suing out a scire facias quare restitutionem non, because it wotild be too expensive. But as to proceedings in this court, we must pursue the common law practice. As to the second point, it is not necessary to give any opinion at present; but the court would refer the counsel to the case of Montgomery v. Bruere, where it appeared that the whole money had passed into the hands of the sheriff, and neither a part or the whole of the money had been paid by the sheriff to the plaintiff; and Mr. Montgomery’s counsel resisted the application on that ground, and the court ordered restitution for the whole amount which had been paid into the hands of the sheriff

Buie refused.
