    IN 1811, the defendant confessed a judgment in favour of the plaintiff, on a bond for 10,000 dollars, conditioned to pay 4,509 dollars, with interest. The defendant was at that time, seised of two farms in the county of Herkimer, on which the judgment became a lien. sold one of the farms to Daniel Tilden In January, 1816, he „ * ’ ’ for 9,000 dollars, and, for part of the consideration, took the bond of T. in the penal sum of 6,000 dollars, conditioned to pay off and discharge the balance then due on the said judgment, being 3,000 dollars. About the same time, Sylvester Wilcox pur¿¡based of the defendant the other farm, for 900 dollars, for which he paid, and received a deed with full covenants and warranty. Wilcox being indebted to Richard Gardenier, in the sum of 1,000 dollars, gave him a bond with a warrant of attorney to confess judgment, and which was entered up in this court. Gardenier issued an execution on this judgment, by virtue of which the farm purchased by Wilcox of Page was sold, and G. became the purchaser at the sheriff’s sale. D. Tilden, being pressed to. pay the balance on the judgment in favour of Smith, which was about 1,200 dollars, requested R. S. to obtain the money, and take an assign- „ ment of the judgment. R. S. accordingly procured the money, and took an assignment of the judgment to himself, to secure the principal due, with the interest and costs. After-wards, the son of Daniel Tilden paid R. S. the money, and took an assignment of the judgment to himself, and caused an execution to be issued on the judgment, and levied on the farm sold by the defendant, Page, to Wilcox, and by him to Gardenier, and which was advertised for sale under the execution.
    S. S. Lush, in behalf of Gardenier,

   The Court refused to order satisfaction to be entered on the judgment, but granted the following rule: “ That the execution be stayed, as far as respects the lands purchased by Wilcox of Page, until the further order of the court; and that no costs of the motion be allowed to either party.”
