tempt, and no title shall be deemed to have passed to him; and he may
be required to surrender to the court, on its order, the property, money,
or choses in action, of which he has become possessed; but if the pur-
chaser, taker or assignee, be innocent of contempt, his title, if other-
wise good, shall be protected; and the court shall take proof of the value
of such property, money, or choses in action, disposed of, or assigned;
and the fine in all cases provided for in this section shall remain to the
credit of the cause in which the injunction issued, and in the event of
final judgment in favor of the party injured, so much thereof as the
court may adjudge shall go to him, and the remainder go as other fines
do; and the court may imprison for non-compliance with their order to
pay such fine, and may issue execution, in the name of the State, for its
collection.

81. Whenever an application shall be made by an executor or admin-
istrator for an injunction to stay proceedings at law, the court may, in
its discretion, prescribe the penalty of a bond, which shall be executed to
the plaintiff at law, with security approved by the court, before the
injunction shall be granted, and the condition of such bond shall be to
perform such order or decree as the court shall finally pass in the cause
on the hearing of both parties; and whenever an injunction is obtained
by an executor or administrator, on filing a bill and executing a bond
as aforesaid, the court shall have full power and discretion to decree
against such executor or administrator, as equity and good conscience
shall seem to require.

injunction from selling personal property taken in execution, he shall
