Opinion

Per Cur.

Let the sheriff' stand amerced in the debt and eosts. The prefacing his return with a few specified items and concluding generally with a seizure of “ all the household goods” which may be worth £1200 or £12. is a direct breach of his duty. A particular schedule should be returned ©r all the frauds will be encouraged which the legislature had it in view to prevent. A sheriff cannot plead ignorance nor can the court allow of such a plea, in this case.

Rule absolute.
