Syllabus

<p>Public officers — Sheriff's control of property levied on.</p> <p>By agreement between certain execution creditors, the sheriff of Beaver county, the sheriff of Allegheny county, and the assignee for creditors of the defendant in the execution, a boat together with other property was turned over by the sheriff of Beaver county to the assignee, for purposes of sale, upon the understanding that distribution should be made by the sheriff. While it may be true that under such an agreement the assignee becomes the sheriff’s agent, yet if he removes the property, with or without permission, to another county the official control thereof by the sheriff is lost, and the property becomes subject to seizure under execution in the jurisdiction to which it,is removed.</p>
