Ex parte Lawrence

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

Clearly this motion must he denied. The'levy ón the personal property of Hopping, to an amount sufficient to satisfy Lawrence’s execution operated per se, a-s an extinguishment of his judgment. This has been often held. (Clerk v. Withers, 2 Ld. Raym. 1072. l Salk. 322. S. C. Ladd v. Blunt, 4 Mass. Rep. 403. Hoyt v. Hudson, 12 John. Rep. 207. Reed v. Pruyn & Staats, 7 id. 428-91) Lawrence’s judgment ceased to he a lien from the'time oí the levy, and. of course "he could not redeem. (Matter of Hurd, 3 Cowen’s Rep. 35. Mutter of Marsh, id. 69.)
