“Rule to show cause why the levy and sale of the land under a venditioni exponas should not be set aside. Suit was brought by Glassell against James Wilson in 1797, and judgment was entered in 1798; soon after which, Wilson died, and administration on his estate was granted to Bird Wilson.

The scire facias issued against Petit, as administrator de bonis non of James Wilson, who confessed judgment in November 1819, and a fieri facias issued, which was executed on certain lands, which were sold under a venditioni exponas.”
