Decided March 15, 1837

Bowen & Dowling filed their bill in equity for an injunction to prevent the present defendant, Howard, from issuing execution against them, upon a judgment for $33.50, which he had recovered against them, and which they had paid and satisfied to one Thomas Lloyd, who purchased the judgment at a sale thereof, by a constable who had seized it upon a fieri facias issued by one against the said Howard, and sold it under that execution.
