ART. 29. ] COURTS. 29
The Act of June 22, 1861, ch. 70, adds the following section to this Article:
11. Every judgment hereafter to be 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 interests
and terms for years, of the defendants, on 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 now created by judgment upon real estate.
The Act of 1862, ch. 262, adds the following amending sections 16, 17.
12. On all judgments an execution may issue, at any time
within three years after the date of such judgment, or if there
be a stay thereon, at any time within three years after the
expiration or removal of such stay, where there has been no
change of parties to such judgments, by death or by marriage,
but executions by way of attachment may issue at any time
within twelve years from the date of said judgment, and if more
than three years have elapsed after the date of the judgment, or
expiration, or removal of the stay thereon, the said attachments
shall be subject to the same defences by the defendant as in
cases of scire facias, and in cases of the death or marriage of any
plaintiff, the executor, administrator, or other person, who shall
be entitled to such judgment, shall on application to the clerk
of the court, or justice of the peace, having control of the docket
whereon such judgment may have been entered, be made par-
ties to the same and have attachments or other execution, as if
no such death or marriage had taken place; and in all such
judgments, the plaintiff may have more than one attachment, or
other execution to be laid in the hands of different persons, or
levied on other property or effects than that taken under the
first, though the first be still outstanding; provided, that but one
satisfaction of the debt or demand shall be made, and that it
shall be in the discretion of the court in all such cases, whether
any costs, or if any, what amount of costs shall be allowed on
the subsequent attachment or other execution.
13. If a stay of execution be entered on the docket at the
time of the rendition of the judgment, or if a judgment be stayed
