James Bowdoin, and Sarah, his Wife, versus William Jordan.
    Where a husband and wife, in right of the wife, had recovered judgment upon a writ of entry, and before execution issued the husband died, the Court, on motion of the widow, ordered the execution to issue in her name, although it might have well issued in the name of the recoverors.
    This was a writ of entry, upon which the demandants, in right of said Sarah, recovered judgment at the last September term in this county. After the judgment was rendered, and before a Writ i>f possession was sued out, the said James died. And now, at this teim, N. Bridge, attorney to said Sarah, suggested the above fact, and prayed that a writ of possession might issue on the said judgment in her name.
   By the Court.

A writ of possession might have been taken out in the name of the recoverors, notwithstanding the decease of one of them; but as the suggestion has been made, let the writ issue in the name of Sarah Bowdoin only.
