L. 392, which limits the lien of debts of a decedent not of record to two-years, does not apply to judgments, although they may be more than five years old at the date of the decedent’s death.</p> <p>Judgments — Revival—Service of sci. fa. on terre-tenants — Act of June 1, 1887.</p> <p>The Act of June 1, 1887, P. L. 2S9, does not require the service of a sci. fa. to revive a judgment upon a purchaser who took title after the service of the writ on the executrix of the judgment debtor. Such a purchaser is not a terre-tenant who must under the act be served with the sci. fa.</p>
