Opinion
Spring Sessions, 1832.
The Act of Assembly authorizes the detention of a prisoner on a certified copy of the writ of execution. The process upon which deft. was detained, was a printed blank warrant, filled up by the constable, and indorsed "committed May, 7, 1832, by Jno. Rudolph, cons't."
The court discharged the prisoner on the ground, that this was not a certificate that it was a copy of the original execution.
