goods or chattels, lands or tenements, mentioned and set forth in
such writ of venditioni exponas, in whosoever hands or possession
the same may be found, and shall proceed, after due and legal notice,
to sell the same at public sale, in the same manner as if the
said goods or chattels, lands or tenements, had been seized and
taken by such sheriff or coroner, upon a writ of fieri facias to
him directed and delivered for that purpose, and shall make return
thereof to the court from whence the said writ of venditioni exponas
shall have issued, and such sheriff or coroner shall be liable to
be proceeded against, and his bond as sheriff or coroner shall be
