139. 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 renewals 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 execu-
tion 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.
