Cases frequently occur, where it is necessary, after judgment, to sue out a scire facias before execution. sire facias lies for many purposes in law, and each writ is formed according to the special circumstances of the case; but such writs of scire facias as are necessary to be noticed here, apply principally to cases where there is an addition or change of parties, by marriage or death; or where the object is to revive a judgment previously had, between the same parties.

There is no right, or liability to execution, in one who is not a party to the record and judgment, until such right or liability is created by a judgment of the court on

time;

scire facias. To make the husband liable to execution, on a judgment obtained against the wife, dum sola; to entitle the husband to execution, on a judgment recovered by the wife, dum sola; to have execution against an executor or administrator, on a judgment obtained against the testator or intestate, in his life time; or to entitle an executor or administrator to an execution, on a Judgment recovered by the testator or intestate, in his lifethe party interested must bring scire facias. Where the interest still exists in the same persons who are parties to the record, if a judgment bas lain more than a year and a day, it must be revived by a judgment on scire facias, before execution can be taken out. It is also provided by statute, "That any person having obtained a judgment against any executor or administrator, to be levied of the assets of the deceased, when the same may come to the hands of such executor or administrator to be administered, may have a scire facias against such executor or administrator, alleging, that such executor or administrator has, since the commencement of the suit, eventuating in the rendition of such judgment, acquired or become possessed of such assets; and such proceedings and judgment may be had thereon as are consistent with law and the rights of the parties. Or such person may sue out a scire facias against such executor or administrator, upon such judgment, alleging that such executor or administrator has wasted the assets of the estate intrusted to his administration, either before or after the obtaining of such judgment; and such proceedings and judgment may be had thereon as are prescribed for proceedings and judgment upon writs of scire facias against executors and administrątors, in other cases in which waste may be alleged." Rev. L. 170.
