      Scire facias mast issue from the court rendering judgment. The judgment is, •* that execution issue.”
    Anderson was the plaintiff below, and brought a scire facias against Boylan, the defendant below, on a judgment rendered before another justice, and obtained judgment on this scire facias.
    
    
      
       S. P. 4 Halst. 32, See Form m Ewing's Justice, N, Ed. 73.
      
    
   By the Court.

The action below should have been an action of debt. A soire facias is a writ calling on a defendant to show cause why a judgment then subsisting against him, should not be executed. The judgment to be rendered on the soire faoias is nothing [*] more than that execution issue; one court of concurrent jurisdiction only, cannot carry into effect the judgment of another, by issuing execution on the judgment obtained in the other.

Judgment reversed.
