Syllabus

<p>1. Judgment—lien-—on after acquired land. Where an execution is issued upon a judgment in a court of record within one year from the time it is rendered, the judgment will become a lien upon any real estate the defendant in the judgment may acquire subsequent to its rendition, and within seven years; but if no execution is issued thereon within a year, no lien will exist.</p> <p>2. Where it is made to appear from the evidence that an execution was issued upon a judgment witkin'one year after its rendition, and placed in the hands of the sheriff, the lien of the judgment will attach, although such execution becomes lost, and is never returned to the clerk’s office.</p>
