Count'- Court liar no power to authorise an amendment in the return of a levy of It Jurt.ee\u2019s execution upon laud, by a constable, after the salo of the\nEjectmfnt, tried before his' Honor Judge Ellis, at the Spring Term, 1854, of Hyde Superior Court.\nThe plaintiff claimed title under a sale by the sheriff of Hyde, under a-venditioni, founded upon a Justice\u2019s judgment, and a levy upon the premises in question by a constable. The levy made by the constable, and endorsed on the execution in his hands, was as follows :\n\u201c This day levied on Silvester G. Swindell\u2019s right and title of land that he inherited by Jackson Swindell, dec\u2019d, this March 24th, 1849.\u201d (Signed.)\nAfter the sale of the land levied on, and after the commencement of this action, to wit, at May Term 1854, the County Court of Hyde granted leave to the constable to amend his levy nunc pro tunc, which was accordingly done, so as to be as follows:\n\u201c This day levied on Silvester G. Swindell\u2019s right in a tract of land adjoining Fabius D. Gibbs, and Festus A. Gibbs* on Wysocking creek, March 24th, 1849.\u201d (Signed.)\nIt was contended by the defendant\u2019s counsel that the original levy was defective, and did not authorize the proceedings had upon it, and that the amendment exceeded the power of the County Court, and was therefore void. .Ilis Honor being of this opinion, the plaintiff .took a non suit, and appealed to this Court.\nNo counsel for the plaintiff.\nDonnell, for the defendant."
