delivered the opinion of the Court:
At the time when the sale was made by Brantley to Upchurch viz: on the 4th of February 1807, there was in the Sheriff’s hands Ramsay’s execution, and the execution taken out from the term thereafter, though it is a different piece of paper, is still the same execution $ we do not therefore see upon what principle it can be con*354tended that the lands were not bound, as the sale was made not only after the teste of the execution, but after the delivery thereof to the Sheriff.
If it be, that these lands were acquired by Brantley after the judgment was obtained, we think there is nothing in that? for we do not decide how far a judgment binds lands, but think this case the common one of a party having lands and selling them after an execution is in the hands of the Sheriff against them. There must be judgment for the Plaintiff.
