In this case the writ Of error was asked fol
and made out within ten days, but the seal OF the
court was not placed thereon until after ten days
The Supreme Court of the United States, yes

paper at all until 1t was sealed was not " sued
out" within ten days, and consequently did not
operate Ms supcrscdeas. Execution for the
$500 can now, therefore, be issued aud levied
