An execution was issued on which nothing was done; and in March, 1799, the defendant paid 26 dollars and 62 cents to the plaintiff; leaving the residue unpaid. In October, 1811, the plaintiff sued out a scire facias to revive the judgment, returnable the 1.7th of August last, which was duly served, and returned scire feci, by the sheriff.
