Berry, J.1

¶1If, for the purposes of this case, it be admitted that, under the provisions of Gen. St. c. 66, § 269, a judgment can be levied upon by execution, still, as it is a thing in action, (Fore v. Manlove, 18 Cal. 437; Burtis v. Cook, 16 Iowa, 194,) the sale can be made only “if the court so orders.” Gen. St. c. 66, § 284.

¶2Order affirmed.

¶3 Gilfillan, C. J., having been of counsel, did not sit in this case.
