An execution, issued upon a judgment for a sum of money, or directing the payment of a sum of money, must specify, in the body thereof, the sum recovered, or directed to be paid, and the sum actually due when it is issued. It may specify a day, from which interest upon the sum due is to be computed; in which case, the sheriff must collect interest accordingly, until the sum is paid.

1373. Id.; for delivery of property. How money, recovered by same judgment, may be collected.

[ocr errors]

An

execution for the delivery of the possession of real property, or a chattel, must particularly describe the property, and designate the party to whom the judgment awards the possession thereof; and it must substantially require the sheriff, to deliver the possession of the property, within his county, to the party entitled thereto. If a sum of money is awarded by the same judgment, it may be collected, by virtue of the same execution; or a separate execution may be issued for the collection thereof, omitting the direction to deliver possession of the property. If one execution is issued for both purposes, it must contain, with respect to the money to be collected, the same directions as an execution against property, or against the person, as the case requires.

Substitute for Co. Proc., § 289, subd. 4.

§ 1374. Separate executions, where separate sums awarded. Where a judgment awards different sums of money, to or against different parties, a separate execution may be issued, to collect each sum so awarded; subject to the power of the court, to control the enforcement of the executions, upon motion, where the collection of one execution will, wholly or partly, satisfy another.

§ 1380. [Amended, 1894.] Execution against decedent's property.- After the expiration of one year from the death of a party, against whom a final judgment for a sum of money, or directing the payment of a sum of money is rendered, the judgment may be enforced by execution against any property upon which it is a lien, with like effect as if the judgment debtor was still living. But such an execution shall not be issued, unless an order granting leave to issue it is procured from the court from which the execution is to be issued, and a decree to the same effect is procured from a surrogate's court of this State, which has duly granted letters testamentary or letters of administration upon the estate of the deceased judgment debtor. Where the lien of the judgment was created as prescribed in section twelve hundred and fifty-one of this act, neither the order nor the decree can be made until the expiration of three years after letters testamentary or letters of administration have been duly granted upon the estate of the decedent, and for that purpose such a lien existing at the decedent's death continues for three years and six months thereafter, notwithstanding the previous expiration of ten years from the filing of the judgment-roll. But where the decedent died intestate and letters of administration upon his estate have not been granted within three years after his death by the surrogate's court of the county in

which the decedent resided at the time of his death, or if the decedent resided out of the State at the time of his death, and letters testamentary or letters of administration have not been granted within the same time by the surrogate's court of the county in which the property on which the judgment is a lien is situated, such court may grant the decree where it appears that the decedent did not leave any personal property within the State upon which to administer. In such case the lien of the judgment existing at the decedent's death continues for three years and six months as aforesaid. Provided, however, that such judgment lien, existing at the decedent's death, upon the decedent's real property, or some portion thereof, may be enforced and payment thereof obtained during the said three years after granting of letters testamentary, or letters of administration, by the proceeding provided and prescribed by title five of chapter eighteen of this act. But this section shall not apply to real estate which shall have been conveyed, or hereafter may be conveyed by the deceased judgment debtor during his lifetime, if such conveyance was made in fraud of his creditors or any of them, and any judgment creditor of said deceased, against whose judg ment said conveyance shall have been, or may hereafter be, declared fraudulent by the judgment and decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, may enforce his said judgment against such real property, with like effect as if the judgment debtor was living, and it shall not be necessary to obtain the leave of any court or officer to issue such execution, and the same may be issued at any time to the sheriff of the county where such property is or may be situated. The person issuing such execution, however, shall annex thereto a description of the real estate against which the same is sought to be enforced, as aforesaid, and shall indorse on said execution the words "issued under section thirteen hundred and eighty of the code of civil procedure," whereupon said sheriff shall enforce said execution as therein directed, against the property so described, and not against any other property, either real or personal, and all provisions of law relating to the sale and conveyance of real estate on execution and the redemption thereof shall apply thereto.

In effect May 21, 1894; Laws 1894, ch. 734.

§ 1381. Leave, how obtained. Leave to issue an execution, as prescribed in the last section, must be procured as follows:

1. Notice of the application, to the court, from which the execution is to be issued, for an order, granting leave to issue the execution, must be given to the person or persons, whose interest in the property will be affected by a sale by virtue of the execution, and also to the executor or administrator of the judgment debtor. The general rules of practice may prescribe the manner in which the notice must be given; until provision is so made therein, it must be served, either personally, or in such manner as the court prescribes, in an order to show cause. Leave shall not be granted, except upon proof, by affidavit to the satisfaction of the court that the judgment remains wholly or partly unsatisfied.

2. For the purpose of procuring a decree from the surrogate's court, granting leave to issue the execution, the judgment creditor must present to that court, a written petition, duly verified, setting forth the facts, and praying for such a decree; and that the persons, specified in the first subdivision of this section, may
