Felton, at this term, and (treating this as a motion, after notice, for an order to sell the land levied on,) also in Riddick v. Hinton, at this term, Mr. Bragg insists there is error in awarding a procedendo to the County Court.\nWe do not concur in that view. The appeal from the County to the Superior Court did not bring up the whole case, but only the motion for an order of sale, leaving the original judgment and levy in the County Court, to which court the sheriff must make return, in order to have satisfaction of the judgment entered there. We are, therefore, of opinion that the further proceedings should be had in the County Court, and that it was proper to award a procedendo. Morehead v. R. R. Co., 7 Jones, 500.\nPer Ctjriah. Judgment affirmed. Motion for an order of sale should be allowed. Issue a writ of procedendo.",

Felton, ante, p. 279, Riddick v. Hinton, ante, p. 291, and Morehead v. R. R. Co., 7 Jon., 500, cited and approved.)\nScire Facias, tried before Warren, J., at Fall Term, 1866, of the Superior Court of Camden.\nThe case here came up by appeal from the County Court. The plaintiff had obtained a judgment (for $992) against the defendant at September Term, 1861, of the County Court, and afi.fa. issuing from that term had been levied upon land and returned to September Term, 1862.-' Afterwards a writ of sd. fa. was issued, returnable to June Term, 1866, requiring the defendant to show cause why the plaintiff should not have his execution, &c. At September Term, 1866, upon motion, this writ was dismissed.\nUpon appeal to the Superior Court, his Honor overruled the motion to dismiss, and ordered a procedendo to issue to the County Court, &c. Whereupon the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court.\nBragg, for the appellant.\nThe order for a procedendo to the County Court was erro-, neous, for the lohole case had been brought up into the Superior Court.
