 On tKe Ist of June, 1819, the Sluriff of the District of Quebec returned into the Court of 
 King's Bench, a Writ of Execution, whidi hud j.reviously issued at the instance of the above 
 named Respondent, anrainst the ftooiis and cliatteis. lauds and tenements oft'e \p|)i'llant it» 
 thisca'Si'. with an opposition «^rt rfV(n««//«' on the part of the Appellant, to the waid opjiosi- 
 tion aniie\eii. — The jfrounds of op|)osition were the tollowiiig — vii :

 eatisfied uni" them the said Respondents, the amount of the said jud;,Mneiit, reiideied m the 
 said cause between tlie said parties, on the seventeenth ilay of June, one thousand ejuhi hun- 
 dred »i\\ eiifhteen, toijetlier witii all cosis and inttier.t d'lo thereon 
 
 That no legal seizure had been made by the Hhejiif oi'the District, of the ^oods and chat- 
 tels hv t'lesail Shentf seized and taken in execution m the said cause, and thai the for- 
 malities r qiiiieil by the law of tiie land to be by the said Mieriii' ob-eived, previous to the 
 making of any seizm'.' whatsoever, had not been by him the said SherilF observed. 
 
 Thai bifore the makie;; of the said jiretended seizure wo coinmanddiient ile pnytr I'as by the 
 eaidShi-riiV, "or by the said Respondents, nor by any person or persons on h'soi their behah' 
 made or notified to him the said Appellant. 
 
 Thni no Inventory in the manner and form required by the law of the land, was l)y the 
 Sheiitfinade 
 
 That no Copy of an Inventory of the effects belonging to the said Appelhnt, by ih<» said 
 Slieriif alleged or pn>tended to have been seized, was by him thesaid Slierill h.fi iviihor noti- 
 fied toilie'-aiil Appellant. 
 
 And f other that in thesaid alleged and pretended seizure the law of the laud had been 
 wholly and alioiri.tlier neglected and ccMitravened. 
 
 On the .5th Februaiy, 18.^0, the Respondents filed a defense au fonds rn fait io the abote 
 opposition, allegiui; that the alleviations, matters and things therein set fbrtli and ci ntained- 
 were v. holly and altogether tnili)und'-d in (act and untrue.

 lant should ri'ply to the said d<Jtnrc an Jonds en fait within two dass.

 from tlie making thereof, and from the judgiueiit disiuissiin;- the said opposition the pn sent ap- 
 peal has been insiituled, because the same were made and rendered contrary to the express 
 letter ofihe Rules of Piaciiceof the sa d Court, and because tht- Court below'tht rebv deprived
