19. Every judgment rendered by any of the courts of law of this
State shall be and constitute a lien to the amount and from the date
thereof upon all leasehold interest and terms for years of the defendants
in land, except leases from year to year and leases for terms of not more
than five years and not renewable, to the same extent and effect as liens
are created by judgment upon real estate, and a certified copy of the
docket entries from the clerk of the court where any judgment is
obtained, or judgment of any justice of the peace originally recorded,
when recorded upon the judgment record of any other court in the
counties of this State or the city of Baltimore, shall be and constitute
a lien, from the date of its being so recorded, upon the property of the
defendant in said county or city of Baltimore, to the same extent as in
the county or city where the said judgment was originally obtained or
justice's judgment originally recorded.

This section places real estate and leasehold property upon the same foot-
ing. Ahem v. White, 39 Md. 417.

of years. Wright v. Ryland, 92 Md. 661 (dissenting opinion). See also, Shry-
ock v. Morris, 75 Md. 78; Bish v. Williar, 59 Md. 387.

Where a mortgage is recorded within six months, it has precedence over a
judgment against the mortgagor, entered between the date of the mortgage
and the date of its record, the judgment being a lien only on the equity of
redemption. Knell v. Green St. Bldg. Assn., 34 Md. 70.

This section refers to final judgments alone. Davidson v. Myers, 24 Md.
556.

A Judgment creditor who allows a term of years to expire before selling

on all judgments of justices of the peace recorded in the clerk's office
of any court of law, an execution or attachment may issue out of such
court or by the clerk thereof, at any time within twelve years from the
date of the judgment or decree, or the said judgment or decree may be
otherwise proceeded with within twelve years from its date; and in
case of the death of any plaintiff in any such judgment, the executor,
administrator or other person entitled to the judgment or decree shall,
on application to the clerk of the court having control of the docket
