Camp v. Laird
Camp v. Laird
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
This court (Catron, Judge, dissenting) determined, in Young and Whitcomb vs. Read, 3 Yerg. 297, that a levy of property by the sheriff, and delivery bond taken and forfeited, is a satisfaction of the judgment, on which no second execution can issue; and if an alias do issue, it is subject to be quashed, as was done in that case, on the express and only ground, that the levy was holden in law to be a satisfaction of the first execution. This case has since been followed, and the principle applied to others, with the decided approbation of three of the members of this court, and its authority is not now subject to be questioned.
Judgment reversed.
