the County Court of Common Pleas for Chester county, aforesaid, issued the 28th 
day of Aug last past, I was commanded that of the goods and chattels, lands and 
tenements which were of Francis WAYNE, deceased in the hands and posession of 
Michael WAYNE and Abraham WAYNE, executors of the last Will and Testament of 
the said Francis WAYNE deceased, then being administered in my bailiwick, I 
should cause to be levied as well, a certain debt of 80 pounds lawful money of 
Pennsylvania which Evan THOMAS lately in the said Court recovered against them, 
as also 72 shillings for his damages and costs.  AND WHEREAS, by a certain 
other writ of teiri facias of our said Lord the King, issoued out of the said

of aforesaid, seized and taken in execution without delay, I should expose to 
sale and have that money before the Justices at Chester a certain day in the 
same writs mentioned to render to the aforesaid plaintiffs for their debts and 
damages aforesaid.  BY VIRTUE of which said writs, I the said sheriff did from 
Day to Day expose the said messuage, land and premises to public sale having 
given due and legal notice of the same and place thereof, and on the day of the 
sale of these presents did sell the same to Frederick LANDUS of Philadelphia
