justices of our Court of Common Pleas, holden &c. on &c., recovered judgment against the said D and E, for the sum of $- debt, and $- costs of suit, as by the record thereof, in the same court, appears. And afterwards, on &c., he sued out, in due form of law, his execution on the same judgment. And afterwards, on &c. the said D and E, being then seized of said two undivided parts of said two described pieces of land, he, the plaintiff, caused his said execution. to be levied and extended thereon, in due form of law; and then and there, by force of the same levy, he became seized of the same two undivided parts of said two pieces of land, in part satisfaction of the same execution, and ought now to be in quiet possession; yet the said D [defendant,] hath illegally entered the same, and continues to keep the plaintiff out of the same. DANE.

NOTE. Where lands are set off on an execution, it is always best to declare on the plaintiff's seizin generally, as in common cases, and leave the regularity of the proceedings to be proved in evidence; for if the title by execution be stated, and any requisite be omitted, the declaration will be bad.
