where it shall appear that the grantor of land has remained
in possession of said land after delivery of a deed for same
and in violation of an agreement, in writing, to deliver posses-

affirmed, a warrant as aforesaid shall be issued to the Sheriff
who shall proceed forthwith to execute the same. If the
judgment of the justice shall be against the grantee, he may
file notice of appeal within ten days after the judgment shall
