Syllabus

<p>A judgment obtained and docketed in the Superior Court of the city of San Francisco, became a lien upon the real property of the judgment debtor, not exempt from execution, within the county of San Francisco.</p> <p>The Act of April, 1856, creating San Mateo county out of a portion of the territory of the county of San Francisco, did not destroy or affect judgment liens then existing; but such liens continued upon the land of the judgment debtor, not exempt from execution, until the expiration of the statutory period, without recording the judgment in the county of San Mateo where the lands lie. And recording the judgment in this latter county, after the lien was exhausted by the expiration of the two years from the time of its docketing in the Superior Court, will not revive the lien.</p>
