Syllabus

<p>Sheriffs’ sales — Proceeds—Distribution—Double levy.</p> <p>In proceedings for the distribution of a fund realized from a sheriff’s sale of personal property it appeared that the sheriff had levied upon certain goods under a writ of execution and thereafter had levied upon the same goods as the property of a different defendant; the goods were sold and the sheriff made return upon the first writ that he had sold them for a certain sum, and upon the second writ that he had sold them for the same sum subject to the prior writ; the fund realized was insufficient to satisfy the judgment upon which the first writ of execution had issued. The lower court awarded the proceeds to the party who had issued the first execution. Held, no error.</p>
