This execution issued in the year 1798, when such was the practice in this part of the country. We must allow *422 of it, or overturn all the sales made during the time of such irregu.lar practice. How often at that period did the Supreme Courts sanction the reissuing of executions in this form, compelling sheriffs to act upon them, and inflicting penalties on them for not returning such executions or the money collected upon them, and doing other acts of various sorts which recognized such writs as legal ones. The word aliased is a reference to the words contained in the body of the fi. fa., and adopts them; and the future term to which it is aliased is that before which the authority contained in it must be executed by seizure. Here is a good authority to the sheriff, and his sale is valid. Affirm the judgment of the Circuit Court.
