Syllabus

<p>Execution — Sheriffs interpleader — Act of May 26, 1897, P. L. 95.</p> <p>When a claimant of personal property, taken by the sheriff in execution, gives the bond required by the 2d section of the Act of May 26,1897, P. L. 95, and receives the property from the sheriff in accordance with the provisions of that statute, the title to the property vests in the claimant. It is no longer in the custody of the law, and the lien of the execution is at an end. In this respect the act of May 26, 1897, changes the practice adopted by the courts in the exercise of the powers conferred upon them by the Act of April 10, 1848, P. L. 448.</p>
