Syllabus

<p>1. A judgment obtained in 1867 and revived by default by order passed more than 20 years afterwards, but under proceedings to revive instituted within the 20 years, retains its lien, and a sale of the debtor’s land thereunder is a valid sale.</p> <p>2. Under summons to show cause why execution on a judgment (describing it) should not be renewed, and under order giving leave to issue a renewal execution on said judgment, the judgment is also revived.</p> <p>3. A judgment obtained against intestate was legally revived under proceedings against the administrator of intestate's derelict estate, oven though the heirs of intestate, who wore in possession of all his lands, had no notice of such proceedings.</p>
