Syllabus

<p>1. No action lies against a sheriff for money, rightfully in his hands, applied by him to an execution against the party to whom the money belonged, even though the execution was void by reason of matters unknown to the sheriff. Bragg v. Thompson, 19 S. 0., 572, approved and followed.</p> <p>2. The sheriff is justified in applying to an execution in his office money in his hands belonging to a defendant in such execution, even though the Christian name or initials of such defendant are not set out in the execution or in the transcript of judgment upon which it issued.</p>
