The provision contained in the execution-issued upon the Wicksel judgment, making it returnable to New York county instead of to Suffolk county, was of no “ consequence, because the law and not the direction contained in the paper was controlling upon the sheriff.

Y. 31, 48.)” (Matter of Kupfer & Co., 165 App. Div. 570.) *864The sheriff made a prior valid levy under the Koch judgment and this inured also as a levy under the Shattuek judgment. (Peck v.
