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

tiff 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

ment or other execution.

expiration or removal of such stay, but in no case
whatever shall the period during which any stay
law heretofore passed, or hereafter to be passed,
may have been, or may be in force, be computed
as part of said three years.
