This was an action against the defendant as the attorney, who had issued afi.fa. for the fees of the sheriff of Erie, on the execution, and for the punter’s bill in advertising the real estate of the defendant for sale. The advertisement was commenced on the 9th September, 1828, sale to be on the 15th October. The sheriff postponed the sale from time to time until the 18th November, when the plaintiff’s attorney having on the 3d November signified his assent to a postponement of the sale for sixty ¿jaySj tjje gher¡ff adjourned the sale to the 13th January, 1839, when, without farther direction, he postponed the sale from time to time until the 10th November, 1839, during all which time the advertisement was continued in a newspaper. The plaintiff in the execution having directed a testatemfi. fa. in the same cause, issued to the sheriff of New-York, to be returned satisfied, the advertisement in Erie was discontinued, and the sheriff claimed to recover of the attorney the whole amount of the printer’s bill for advertising from September, 1838, to November, 1839.

   By the Court,

Savage, Ch. J.

The sheriff is entitled to poundage on the sum directed to be levied, to his advertising fee, to the amount of the printer’s bill for six weeks, and as much longer time as the defendant in this cause authorized a postponement of the sale, or subsequently recognized or assented to a postponement, and to the fee allowed by thestatute for returning the execution; beyond these items the plaintiff has no claim upon the defendant. Let a retaxation he had accordingly.
