the Sherriff had levyed but £299: n: 3 ob & not finding any
more personal Estate to perfect that Execution, the Court
passed further Order the I^st March 1664 that the Lands of your

of the £1000 Sterling whereupon an Extent issued out against
your Petitioner's Lands & was by the Sherriff Executed, in

the Writt of Extent there is manifest Error as also in the
Sherriffs return of the Execution thereof your Petitioner humbly

After reading of which petition the said Tho! Notley & Jn?
Morecraft presented these following Errors
Errors Assigned by Thomas Gerrard upon the Proceedings

2? The Order of Court ex post facto is General to have

recited in the Writt the Order being the Ground of the Writt
It ought not to vary from the Order but Agree therewith in
form & in terminis is Error
4 The Return of the Sherriff of the Execution of the Extent
is defective in a material point for it doth not express that the
Extent was by the Oath of twelve men It not mentioning
that they were Sworn
