    This was a motion for judgment against Charles Turner, late town sergeant of Alexandria, for not paying over to the plaintiff money made on a fi. fa. of Fendall v. Towers. The motion was grounded on the Act of Assembly of Virginia respecting executions. Rev. Co. p. 317, § 51. (See this case in the Supreme Court of the United States, 1 Cranch, Rep. 117.)
    The cases cited in this Court were, Esp. N. P. 741; King v. Webb, 2 Shower, 166; Dalton’s Sheriff, 145, 543; Fulwood’s case, 4 Co. 67; Rex v.
