Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided July 15, 1851

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1851-07-15

Writ of Error to Pulaski Circuit Court. John Humphries, adr. of Joel Johnson, deceased, use Ashley & Watkins, sued out a writ of scire facias to revive a judgment against James C. Anthony, in the Pulaski Circuit Court! Defendant filed three pleas, 1: That execution was issued upon the original judgment, levied upon lands of defendant of sufficient value to satisfy the judgment, which remained undisposed of; 2: Nul tiel record; and 3: Payment.

Decided 1851-07-15

Mr. Justice Walicer

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2The replications in this case were clearly defective. The plea set forth a subsisting, undisposed-of levy on lands. A replication that the land levied upon is not the property of the defendant, is not of sufficient value to satisfy the debt, or has been discharged by a sale of the property since the commencement of the action, is not good. The replication should traverse the fact as to whether there was or was not a subsisting levy at the time of the commencement of the action. The principles upon which this case turns, will be found fully settled in the case of Anderson vs. Fowler, 3 Eng. Anthony vs. Humphries, use, &c., 4 Eng. 176. Whiting & Slark vs. Beebe et al., at the present term.

¶3Let the judgment of the Circuit Court be, in all things, affirmed, with costs.
