Opinion of the Court
The court is of opinion, that the act of assembly contemplates the case where the first execution is not returned nor executed;, that is, where it is out and may be served.

The judgment is for costs, generally; which includes all the costs belonging to the suit, whether prior, or subsequent to-the rendition of judgment. If new costs accrue, the judgment opens to receive them.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
