235. In all cases where a writ of venditioni exponas shall be returned
by any constable to any justice of the peace for Kent county, and the
property or any part thereof mentioned in said writ shall remain unsold,
and the debt not fully satisfied, it shall be the duty of the justice to enter
the date of such return on his docket, and thereupon deliver the said writ
to the constable, who shall take such proceedings in all respects under the
said writ so delivered to him, for the period of one year from the date of
such return, as could be had in virtue of renewal from time to time of
such writ; and within the period of one year from the return as aforesaid
of any writ of venditioni exponas, it shall not be lawful for any justice of
the peace to issue any second writ of venditioni exponas, or any renewal
thereof; and under the original writ thus re-delivered to the constable, he
shall remain under the same legal obligation to sell the property therein
mentioned, and to make the plaintiff's claim; and his official bond shall be
liable to the plaintiff in any such execution for non-performance of duty,
in the same manner as it is where such writ may be renewed every forty
days; but nothing herein shall be construed to affect the rights of any
representative or security of a deceased constable, to have new process
issued.
