CHARLES S. HAVENS, Appellant, v. HARRISON GORDON and another, Respondents.
    Bxeaution— levy by constable under — failure to indorse.
    
    The omission of a constable to indorse upon an execution issued on a judgment recovered in a Justice’s Oourt, a levy made under it, is not fatal to the levy. The statute (8 B. S. [5th ed.], 448) is directory merely.
    Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Suffolk county, reversing a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, recovered in the Justice’s Court.
    
      Wm. 'Wickham, for appellant. J. H. Tuthill, for respondents.
