    IN ERROR.
    Rule to stay execution, 
    
    AT the January term 1819, of the Common Pleas of Essex, there was trial, verdict and judgment against Sayre. Upon the judgment, execution was issued, tested the second Tuesday of January 1819, returnable to the April term following. At the April term, a writ of error from the Supreme Court was presented, good and sufficient bail filed, and the cause removed.
    And now Scudder, for plaintiff in error,
    moved for a writ of supereedeas, to the sheriff, or a rule upon him to stay proceedings upon the execution. Cro. Jac. 634. 20 Vin. 93.
