On May 1, 1890, on petition of the defendant setting forth that upon an execution issued from said judgment on April 28, 1890, the sheriff had levied upon certain realty, but no execution had “yet been issued upon the personal property.of said estate, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the act of assembly in such case made and provided,” a rule was granted to show cause why the said execution should not be set aside. On May 10, 1890, the rule was discharged, without opinion filed, whereupon the defendant took this appeal, assigning the order discharging the rule for error.
