In this case, the property taken in execution was ‍​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‍replevied, and. by the present law the sheriff was only entitled to half commissions. But it appears ‍​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‍that he has included in the replevy bond a commission for more than three times the sum ‍​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‍allowed by the law. Therefore, it is considered by the court, that the replevy bond aforesaid ‍​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‍be quashed, and that the plaintiff recover of the defendant his costs in this behalf expended, which ‍​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‍is ordered to be certified to the said court.
