Proceedings

cane of
removal of
sheriff.

SEC. I. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That if any sheriff or coroner hath taken, or shall take in exe-
cution any goods or chattels, lands or tenements under and by
virtue of any writ of execution sued out of any court within
this state, and hath returned or shall return such writ to the
court whence it issued, alleging therein that the goods or
chattels, lands or tenements so taken in execution remain in
his possession or custody unsold for the want of buyers, or by
reason of any other legal impediment, and if any such sheriff or
coroner after having made return shall remove out of the county
for and within which he thus acted as sheriff or coroner,
without having effected a sale of the goods or chattels, lands or
tenements so as aforesaid remaining in his possession then in
every such event the same proceedings may be had to complete
such process, and to effect the sale of the goods or chattels,
lands or tenements so remaining unsold as are authorized and
directed by the act to which this is a supplement, in the event
of the death of any sheriff or coroner who hath returned or shall
return that any goods or chattels, lands or tenements taken by
him in execution remain unsold, and who hath died or shall die
without having effected a sale thereof.

Fees

SEC. 2. And be it enacted, That if any such sheriff or coroner
who shall have thus returned, or shall hereafter return that any
goods or chattels, lands or tenements, by him taken in execu-

remove out of the county wherein he thus acted as sheriff or
coroner, such sheriff or coroner shall not charge or receive any
part of the poundage fee allowed by law on the service of writs
of execution, when such proceedings are had as are authorized
by this act, but the same shall be wholly due to the sheriff or
coroner who shall effect the sale of any such goods or chattels,
lands or tenements, under the special writ of venditioni exponas,
authorized and directed to be issued by the provisions of this
act and the act to which it is supplementary, and such sheriff
or coroner may charge, receive and exact the whole poundage
fee due on such sales after the manner prescribed by law for the
recovery of poundage fees in other cases.
