DUNCAN against M'CUMBER; Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District, Pittsburgh; 10 Watts 212; September, 1840, Decided.
Error to the common pleas of Erie county.
This was an action of trespass de bonis asportatis, brought by Solomon M'Cumber, the defendant in error, against James Duncan, plaintiff in error. The goods in question were part of the personal estate of Moses Fellows at the time of his decease; and as such were thereupon taken into possession by Rebecca Fellows, his executrix and widow. Upon a judgment obtained against her, as the executrix of Moses Fellows, in favour of James Duncan, the plaintiff in error, in the common pleas of Erie county, a writ of fieri facias was sued out to May term 1839, directed to the sheriff of Erie county, and delivered to him to be executed on the 27th day of March, 1839, in the borough of Erie: at which place, it seems, that the sheriff, without going to the residence of Rebecca Fellows about fourteen miles from the borough, where the goods then were, endorsed a seizure of them upon the back of the writ, without seeing them, or having them in his power; and without attempting to take the possession of them, until twenty days or more afterwards, when, in the mean while, they had come into the hands and possession of the defendant in error, as a purchaser thereof at constable's sale, made under the following circumstances: On the first of April, 1839, an execution was issued by Thomas Greenwood, a justice of the peace of Erie county, against Rebecca Fellows, in her own right, as it would appear by the execution, at the suit of Ezra Thompson, for 70 dollars and 79 cents, besides costs of suit: also, on the next day, another execution was issued by P. Wells, another justice of the peace of Erie county, against Rebecca Fellows, as executrix of Moses Fellows, deceased, at the suit of Timothy J. Newton, for a debt of 6 dollars and 20 cents, besides 82 cents costs; both of these executions were directed to the constable of Harborcreek township in Erie county, whose name, as it appears, was G. W. Walker; having them in his hands on the 2d day of April, 1839; he, by virtue thereof, actually took the goods from the possession of Rebecca Fellows where he found them, and in the course of ten or twelve days afterwards, sold them public auction to the defendant in error, after giving due notice thereof. The goods, upon the defendant in error's paying for them, were accordingly delivered by the constable to him; from whom the plaintiff in error, in company with the deputy sheriff, afterwards, but before the return-day of the fieri facias, took the goods by virtue thereof.
Upon the trial of the cause below, after the evidence was given to the jury, the counsel of the defendant requested the court to charge the jury,
1st, That the execution in favour of James Duncan and against Rebecca Fellows, executrix of Moses Fellows, deceased, bound the personal property of the deceased, from the delivery of the same to the sheriff.
2d, That the levy and sale of the goods by the constable, Walker, upon an execution issued by a justice, and received by the constable after the lien of the fieri facias in the sheriff's hands had attached, did not release the goods from the sheriff's levy and lien; and that notwithstanding the action of the constable, the sheriff was justified in taking and selling the goods upon the fieri facias in his hands.
3d, That the execution in the constable's hands, being against Rebecca Fellows for her individual debt, the constable could not levy upon and sell the goods late of Moses Fellows, deceased, in her possession as executrix, so as to release them from the previous lien of the fieri facias, in favour of James Duncan against Rebecca Fellows, as the executrix of Moses Fellows, deceased.
The court in their charge to the jury considered the defendant's first proposition to be correct in general; but denied his second, unless the purchaser at the constable's sale had full notice of the sheriff's claim to the goods under the fieri facias, and his endorsement thereon of having levied on the same; whether he had such notice or not, the court left as a question of fact to the jury to be decided by them. The defendant's third proposition, the court answered in the negative. The counsel of the defendant below excepted to the answers and charge of the court on his second and third propositions; which have been assigned for error.
COUNSEL: Walker and Galbreath, for the plaintiff in error, ... Randall, for defendant in error ...
The opinion of the court was delivered by KENNEDY, J. -- At common law, in England, the writ of fieri facias bound the defendant's goods from its teste, so that a sale of the goods made thereafter by the defendant, though bona fide, might have been avoided by a seizure of the goods under the writ at any time before it became returnable. It was no doubt presumed, when such writ was awarded, that it would not only be issued, but would be immediately put into the hands of the sheriff, and be by him executed. This, however, was not always the case. On the contrary, the notion of the goods being retrospectively bound from the teste of the writ, was frequently abused by taking out writs of fieri facias, one after the other, without ever delivering them to the sheriff, whereby the goods of the defendants therein named became bound, which consequently made the sales thereof by the defendants, and all commerce in regard to them, somewhat uncertain. To prevent this, as Chief Baron Gilbert observes, Gilb. on Executions 14, it was enacted, among other things, by the statute of frauds, "that no writ of fieri facias, or other writ of execution, shall bind the property of goods, against whom such writ of execution shall be sued forth, but from the time that such writ shall be delivered to the sheriff, under sheriff, or coroners, to be executed; and for the better manifestation of the said time, the sheriff, under sheriff, and coroners, their deputies and agents, shall, upon the receipt of any such writ, (without fee for doing the same,) endorse upon the back thereof, of, the day of the month, or year, whereon he or they received the same." But neither before nor since the passage of this statute, is the property of the goods altered by the mere delivery of the writ to the sheriff, but continues, notwithstanding, in the defendant, till the execution thereof. The meaning of these words, "that the goods shall be bound from the delivery of the writ to the sheriff," is, that after the writ is so delivered, if the defendant makes an assignment of his goods, unless in market overt, the sheriff may take them in execution. This statute, however, only protects goods in the hands of purchasers or strangers, where the goods are sold bona fide; for if the party die after the teste, but before the delivery of the writ to the sheriff, the goods are bound in the hands of his executors or administrators; for this is not a change of property by sale, or for a valuable consideration; so that in this respect the law is still the same that it was before the statute, which was made for the benefit of strangers, who might have acquired a title to the goods between the teste of the writ of execution, and the time of the delivery thereof to the sheriff, and not for the benefit of the party, or his executors or administrators. That the principle of the common law of England, in regard to the goods of a defendant, in an execution, being bound thereby from its teste, was introduced into and adopted in Pennsylvania, upon its first settlement as a province, is evidenced very clearly by our act of assembly, passed for the prevention of frauds and perjuries, in 1772. The fourth section of this act is an exact transcript of the sixteenth section of 29 Car. 2, c. 3, already recited, with the exception of the words "of the person," which appear to have been omitted in the English statute, evidently from oversight. Had not the rule of the common law of England on this subject been in force here, the passage of our act would have been wholly unnecessary. But being in force here, and the like evils experienced from it, as were there, it became necessary to apply a similar remedy. It is evident, therefore, since the writ of fieri facias in this case was delivered to the sheriff before the executions were issued, under which the constable took and sold the goods, that they were bound by the fieri facias, when the executions came first into the hands of the constable, whether the sheriff had actually then made a seizure of the goods or not: and as against a purchaser from the defendant in the execution, the sheriff would, by virtue of the lien thus acquired, have had a right to seize or take the goods at any time before the return-day of the fieri facias had passed by, and to sell them afterwards, for the purpose of satisfying the debt mentioned in the writ. But whether he had such right, as against a purchaser without notice of the lien under the fieri facias from a constable, where the latter took and sold the goods under executions authorizing him to do so, seems to present a different question. Under the statute of 29 Car. 2, it has been held, that goods bought at a sale made under an execution, delivered to the sheriff subsequently to the delivery of a prior execution, were protected from the prior execution, in the hands of the purchaser under the second execution; although, as to any other party, the goods were bound by the prior delivery of the first writ, under which the sheriff ought to have taken and sold them. This distinction seems to have been considered necessary, in order that the ends of justice might be advanced, which it was thought would be frustrated, should the sales made under executions be suffered to be invalidated by other executions, in being before or at the same time. It is certainly of the first importance, in order that the ends of justice may be fully met and answered, that personal, as well as real estate, should bring fair prices at judicial sales, which cannot be effected with any degree of certainty, without giving all reasonable protection to the purchasers thereof. And seeing such sales are not only made publicly, but at a certain time and place, fixed on for that purpose by the proper officer of which he is required to give a certain previous notice, either by written or printed hand-bills, set up in the most public places, or advertisements published in the newspapers of the county, so that all wishing to buy may be informed of the sale about to be made, and that other officers, having judicial process in their hands, which they ought to execute, may be advised of what is going on, and assert their claims of preference, if they have any, it would seem to be both expedient and reasonable, that property once sold, in this manner, should not be liable to be sold a second time, under judicial process against the same defendant, after it shall have gone into the hands of the purchaser, at the first sale. If an officer, who has judicial process placed in his hands to be executed, shall, through neglect of duty, or want of proper vigilance upon his part, suffer a sale of property to be made, under judicial process of later date, as to lien, whereby an injury or loss shall accrue to the party in whose favour he holds such process, it is better that he should be held liable for such loss than that the purchaser should be disturbed in his enjoyment of the property after having bought and paid for it. Under this view of the case, and the law applicable to it, we are of opinion, that the sale of the goods in question, so far as the constable took and sold them, under the execution against Rebecca Fellows, as the executrix of Moses Fellows, deceased, was good, and that the sheriff could not afterwards take the same goods out of the possession of the purchaser at constable's sale. Consequently, if Duncan, the defendant below, either advised the sheriff or his deputy to take the goods, or aided in doing so, he thereby became a trespasser, and liable to be sued by the plaintiff below as such. But in regard to the goods taken and sold by the constable, under the execution against Rebecca Fellows, individually in her own right, we think the constable had no right to take the goods in her possession belonging to the estate of Moses Fellows, the testator, as long as the sheriff had in his hands an execution against her, as executrix of the testator, which bound the goods. The court below, however, instructed the jury otherwise.
Judgment reversed, and a venire facias de novo awarded.

DUNCAN against M'CUMBER; Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District, Pittsburgh; 2 Watts & Serg. 264; September, 1841, Decided.
Error to the Common Pleas of Erie county.
This was an action of trespass de bonis asportatis, brought by Solomon M'Cumber, the defendant in error, against James Duncan, the plaintiff in error. The goods in question were part of the personal estate of Moses Fellows at the time of his decease; and as such were thereupon taken into possession by Rebecca Fellows, his executrix and widow. Upon a judgment obtained against her, as the executrix of Moses Fellows, in favour of James Duncan, in the Common Pleas of Erie county, a writ of fieri facias was sued out to May Term 1839, directed to the sheriff of Erie county, and delivered to him to be executed on the 27th day of March 1839, in the borough of Erie; at which place, it seems, that the sheriff, without going to the residence of Rebecca Fellows, about fourteen miles from the borough, where the goods then were, endorsed a seizure of them upon the back of the writ, without seeing them, or having them in his power; and without attempting to take the possession of them, until twenty days or more afterwards, when, in the meanwhile, they had come into the hands and possession of the defendant in error, as a purchaser thereof at constable's sale, made under the following circumstances. On the 1st of April 1839, an execution was issued by Thomas Greenwood, a justice of the peace of Erie county, against Rebecca Fellows, in her own right, as it would appear by the execution, at the suit of Ezra Thompson, for $70.79, besides costs of suit: also, on the next day, another execution was issued by P. Wells, another justice of the peace of Erie county, against Rebecca Fellows, as executrix of Moses Fellows, deceased, at the suit of Timothy J. Newton, for a debt of $6.20, besides 82 cents costs; both of which executions were directed to the constable of Harborcreek township, in Erie county. On the 2d day of April 1839, he, by virtue thereof, actually took the goods from the possession of Rebecca Fellows where he found them, and in the course of ten or twelve days afterwards, sold them at public auction to the defendant in error, after giving due notice thereof. $5.14 were endorsed on the latter execution as paid out of the proceeds of sale. The goods, upon the defendant in error's paying for them, were accordingly delivered by the constable to him; from whom the plaintiff in error, in company with the deputy sheriff, afterwards, but before the return-day of the fieri facias, took the goods by virtue thereof.
Upon the trial, after the evidence was given to the jury, the defendant requested the court to charge the jury:
4. That the sale on the execution of Ezra Thompson against Rebecca Fellows, in her individual capacity, vests no title in the plaintiff; and the endorsement on the execution of T. J. Newton of but $5.14, not the whole amount of the execution, is so entirely disproportioned to the value of the property sold, that the circumstance of the levy being made on that execution in the hands of the constable, vests no title in M'Cumber, the purchaser at that sale, either with or without notice.
5. That if Duncan gave public notice at the time of sale, the presumption is that M'Cumber had notice of the writ and levy in the sheriff's hands, he being present at the sale and bidding at the property; and if he had notice of that writ, sufficient to put him upon inquiry, the sale vests no title in him as against Duncan, the plaintiff in that execution.
The court below answered the first point in the negative, and instructed the jury upon the last as follows:
In answer to this point, we instruct you that the question of notice is a question of facts for you, with this instruction as to the land. If the notice was given while the bidding was going on, and M'Cumber was there, and proved to be present on the ground while others heard it, the presumption would be, that he heard it. also. Is it proved that M'Cumber was present? The constable thinks he had not come to the sale at the time of the notice given; others think he was about the premises. To affect M'Cumber, it must be clearly shown that he had actual notice, or was on the ground and where he might have heard it. And if he heard what was said, was it notice from the sheriff that he intended to claim the property by virtue of his lien? -- or it is sufficient if it was notice by a person having an interest in the execution. But if it is not shown that he was present when notice was given, or if he came after notice given, he is not affected with it, as no notice was written, printed, or stuck up on the ground; it was, if I remember the testimony right, a declaration that the sheriff had a lien by virtue of an execution in his hands in favour of Duncan, and people were forbid to buy. This would have been sufficient notice, if M'Cumber had heard it, or if it had been posted up.
To which charge, the defendant excepted.
COUNSEL: Walker and Galbreath, for plaintiff in error, contended that the sale was made upon the large execution in the hands of the constable; and that being against Rebecca Fellows, in her individual capacity, it gave no title to the property sold which belonged to the estate of her husband; and the fact that that execution was paid in full, and the small one only in part, showed clearly that the sale was made on the former.
Babbit, for defendant in error, argued that inasmuch as the constable had in his hands lawful authority to make the sale, a good title was given to the purchaser; and whether the constable appropriated the proceeds to one execution or the other, could not affect the purchaser. If he appropriated it erroneously, the party injured has his remedy.
(opinion) The only points presented, are those which arise upon the answers to the third point of the plaintiff, and the fourth and fifth points of the defendant. Under the Statute, 29 Car. 2, it has been held, that goods bought at a sale made under an execution delivered to the sheriff subsequently to the delivery of a prior execution, were protected from the prior execution, in the hands of the purchaser under the second execution; although, as to any other party, the goods were bound by the prior delivery of the first writ, under which the sheriff ought to have taken and sold them. And this principle is supported by the authorities cited; it is founded on a principle of policy, by which, in consequence of the certainty of the title to the purchaser, the goods will bring their full value, and because no injury can be done to the first execution creditor, he being entitled to the proceeds in satisfaction of his debt. The law, therefore, properly leaves the matter to be adjusted between the first and second execution creditors and the sheriff, without affecting the title of the sheriff's vendee. Nor is a knowledge of the fact, that the goods are sold on the second execution, any impeachment of the vendee's title. The same principle applies to the sale of the goods by the constable, when a prior execution has been put in the hands of the sheriff, who has omitted to make a levy on the goods. I throw out of view all idea of collusion between the purchaser and creditor or constable; for there is no evidence whatever tending to show any participation by him in procuring the sale by the constable. At the time of the sale, there were two executions in the hands of the constable: one against Rebecca Fellows, for about $70, in her individual capacity; the other, for $6.20, as the executrix of her husband. The latter only bound the goods, inasmuch as the property seized belonged to the estate of her deceased husband. Of course the sale, which was on both executions, could only properly be made on the small one. In consequence of the sale being made in satisfaction of both executions, and because he was unable to get bids for the property, when offered for sale separately, the constable sold the horses, wagons, and harness, altogether, and the plaintiff became the purchaser. Did, then, the purchaser obtain a title? and on this question we cannot entertain a doubt. It is not his business to give directions to the constable, who is an officer of the law, or for him to decide whether the constable was in the line of his duty in selling on both executions -- whether he was justifiable in exposing the property to sale together, or whether it ought to have been sold separately. A suggestion of this kind might have been treated by the officer as an impertinent interference with his appropriate duties. In many cases, a purchaser would have but little knowledge of the facts of the case; or if he had, would in most cases be incompetent to advise as to the proper course. The law, therefore, wisely leaves the whole responsibility to the officer himself; and if he has failed to perform his duty, he is answerable to those who may be aggrieved. The property sold for about $80, a sum much more than enough to pay the execution on which it was sold; with the application of the money, however, the purchaser has nothing to do; that is a matter resting entirely between the constable and the other creditors who may have claims to the property. So, if any person is aggrieved by the mode of conducting the sale, the constable must answer in damages. We do not consider knowledge on the part of the purchaser material, unaccompanied by collusion and fraud.
Judgment affirmed.
