Ch. XIII. Sec. III.] Traversed—Resisting Ea:tents. %ns 6. Exeaition, It rarely happens that any process of execution, actually issues either for the Crown or the subject : the former being in general already in possession of the property ; and the latter being at liberty to enter merely by virtue of the award of an amoveas manus, which has been fully considered (a). The award is of itself a transfer of possession in point of law, and is necessary to divest the interest acquired by the King under the office ; as without it the subject has no legal possessory right,, and cannot sue trespassers, &c. (b). The party is also entitled to restitution of his property, with- out deductions of poundage or expenses (c), 7. Error, By several statutes (d), a writ of error lies on a judgment on an extent, &c., into the Exchequer Chamber. It seems, how- ever, that the consent of the Attorney-General is previously necessai'y (€) : but such consent will not be withheld if any point really arguable can be raised {/)• After the termination of the writ of error in the Exchequer Chamber the case may be taken into the House of Lords (g), A scire facias is unnecessary, on a writ of error against the King (h). The writ does not preclude the subject from taking possession on his judgment o^ amoveas manus [i). And where a judgment for the King is reversed, the subject is entitled to be restored to his property and all intermediate issues (^), though he is, it seems, driven to his petition for monies actually paid over and received into the King's hands (Z).
