1904, art. 16, sec. 181. 1888, art. 16, sec. 168. 1860, art. 16, sec. 118. 1773, ch. 7,
sec. 3. 1785, ch. 72, sees. 19, 20, 25, 26. 1818, ch. 193, sec. 4.

190. The court may, for the purpose of executing a decree, or to
compel the defendant to perform and fulfil the same, issue attachment
of contempt, attachment with proclamations and sequestration against
the defendant, and may order an immediate sequestration of the real
and personal estate and effects of the defendant, or such parts thereof
as may be necessary to satisfy the decree and clear the contempts, or
may issue a fieri facias against the lands and tenements, goods and chat-
tels of the defendants, to satisfy the said decree, or may issue an attach-
ment by way of execution against the lands, tenements, goods, chattels
and credits of the defendant, to satisfy the said decree; or the court may
cause, by injunction, the possession of the estate and effects whereof the
possession or a sale is decreed to be delivered to the plaintiff, or other-
wise, according to the tenor and import of such decree, and as the nature
of the case may require; and in case of sequestration, the court shall
order payment and satisfaction to be made out of the estate and effects
so sequestered, according to the true intent and meaning of the decree;
and in case any defendant shall be arrested and brought into court
upon any process of contempt issued to compel the performance of any
decree, the court may, upon motion, order such defendant to stand
committed, or may order his estate and effects to be sequestrated, and
payment made as above directed, or possession of his estate and effects
to be delivered by injunction as above directed, until such decree or
order shall be fully performed and executed, according to the tenor and
true meaning thereof, and the contempt cleared; but where the decree
only directs the payment of money, no defendant shall be imprisoned,
and process of commission of rebellion and sergeant-at-arms are abol-
ished.

This section referred to in deciding that a decree of a court of equity is a
lien on the defendant's lands similar to that of a judgment at law Election
given a plaintiff by this section. Coombs v. Jordan, 3 Bl. 321.

This section shows that the process of sequestration still exists. The act of
1818, ch. 193, dispensed with demand or notice of the decree before Issuing
process thereon as required by the act of 1785, ch. 72. Keighler v. Ward,
8 Md. 264; McKim v. Odom, 3 Bl. 425. As to the writ of sequestration, cf.
Buckingham v. Peddicord, 2 Bl. 451.

The act of 1785, ch. 72, section 26, abolished the process of commission of
rebellion and sergeant-at-arms. Deale v. Estep, 3 Bl. 437. And see Keighler
v. Ward, 8 Md. 264; Buckingham v. Peddicord, 2 Bl. 451.

For cases dealing with the Jurisdiction of the high court of chancery under
this section, see Cape Sable Co.'s Case, 3 Bl. 668; Binney's Case, 2 Bl." 145.

For a case apparently now inapplicable by reason of changes in the law,
see Watkins v. Dorsett, 1 Bl. 535.

Cited but not construed in Crapster v. Griffith, 2 Bl. 14; Watkius v. Wat-
kins, 1 Bl. 359; McKomb v. Kankey, 1 Bl. 363.

As to fine and commitment for contempt, see sec. 173.

191. All orders may be enforced by such process as might be had
upon a judgment or decree to the like effect; and the payment of costs
adjudged to any party, or to any officer of any court, may be enforced
in like manner, without special or further order for their payment.
