New York Supreme Court May 15, 1877 (Bechstein v. Sammis)

Barnard, P. J.:

The plaintiffs, on the 28th September, 1875, recovered a verdict against Henry Hodfield and John W. Hodfield for $3,071.04. On the next day an execution was delivered to the sheriff of Queens county, where a transcript of the judgment had been filed. The sheriff did not return the execution within the sixty days. The plaintiffs brought this action against him for this neglect.
