ANNOTATION
Law reviews. For article, "Executions and Levies on Tangible Property", see 27 Dicta 143 (1950).
Writs to different counties may issue at the same time. If there is authority for the issuing of a writ to a county other than that in which the judgment was recovered, the remedies to issue the writ to the different counties are concurrent, and hence a writ to each of the counties may properly issue or be in existence at the same time. People ex rel. Kenfield v. Finch, 19 Colo. App. 512, 76 P. 1120 (1904).
This fact constitutes no defense in an action against a sheriff for making a false return. In an action against a sheriff and the sureties on his official bond, for damages sustained by plaintiff, by an alleged false return upon an execution, an answer which alleges as a defense the issuance of two executions on the same day to different counties, states no defense to the action, as, under this section, executions may issue on a judgment to different counties at the same time. People ex rel. Kenfield v. Finch, 19 Colo. App. 512, 76 P. 1120 (1904).
Under this section a body execution may be directed to any county in the state. Roll v. Davis, 85 Colo. 594, 277 P. 767 (1929).
