III. And,
whereas it often happens, that small sums only are remaining due
upon judgments given for great sums and penalties, and nevertheless in
these cases,
upon executing of writs of capias ad satisfaciendum, the sheriff
demands and takes
for his fees poundage for the whole money for which such judgments are
entered:
For remedying of which grievance and inconvenience, Be
it enacted, That where
any writ of capias ad satisfaciendum shall issue, poundage shall
in no case be demanded
or taken upon executing of such writ of capias ad satisfaciendum, or
upon
charging any person in execution by virtue of such writ, for any greater
sum than
the real debt bonâ fide due and claimed by the plaintiff amounts
to, which sum
the clerk or the plaintiff, his agent or attorney, shall and are hereby
obliged to
make and specify on the back of such writ, together with a memorandum or
note
in case of penalty, that the growing interest is claimed till payment;
and no sheriff,
under sheriff, or bailiff, shall be obliged to execute such writ before
such endorsement.
V. And be it
enacted, That on the service of any execution for money or tobacco,
the sheriff, for the service of the same, shall charge and receive on the
same at the rate of ten per cent. for the first five pounds in money,
or six hundred
pounds of tobacco, and the rate of five per cent. for the residue,
in the same specie
the execution shall issue for, to be endorsed as aforesaid; and that
no sheriff
shall be chargeable, in any action of escape, for more than the sum of
money or
tobacco really due, or endorsed to be received on the execution in discharge
thereof.
