EXECUTION, practice. The act of carrying into effect the final judgment of a
court, or other jurisdiction. The writ which authorizes the officer so to
carry into effect such judgment is also called an execution.
2. A distinction has been made between an execution which is used to
make the money due on a judgment out of the property of the defendant, and
which is called a final execution; and one which tends to an end but is not
absolutely final, as a capias ad satisfaciendum, by virtue of which the body
of the defendant is taken, to the intent that the plaintiff shall be
satisfied his debt, &c., the imprisonment not being absolute, but until he
shall satisfy the same; this is called an execution quousque. 6 Co. 87.
3. Executions are either to recover specific things, or money. 1. Of
the first class are the writs of habere facias seisinam.; (q.v.) habere
facias possessionem; (q.v.) retorno habendo; (q.v.) distringas. (q.v.) 2.
Executions for the recovery of money are those which issue against the body
of the defendant, as the capias ad satisfaciendum, (q.v.); an attachment,
(q.v.); those which issue against his goods and chattels; namely, the fieri
facias, (q.v.); the, venditioni exponas, (q.v.); those which issue against
his lands, the levari facias; (q.v.) the liberari facias; the elegit. (q.v.)

issued. 1 Serg. & R. 98. A writ of error lies on an award of execution. 5
