Tennessee Supreme Court · Decided September 15, 1804 · Capmbell, Overton, White
1 Tenn. 64

Cowan v. Shields

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam. —Capmbell & Overton, Judges (Judge White, absent.)

A judgment which appears of record satisfied. cannot be the ground of a sci. fa. The defendant’s motion is proper.

Where execution has issued within a year and a day, another may issue afterwards, without a sci. fa. and the continuances may be entered at any time, not being essential.*

Let the writ be quashed.

See 2 Wil. 82 Comb. 346 7 Mod. 50 2 Ld. Ray. 800 Hardins Rep. 521 6 John 105.
