Selling Pew on Execution
Selling Pew on Execution
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Selling Pew on Execution (1): In an action to recover the value of a pew sold at auction, the merits of the case will be tried according to the law of the land.449 It is doubtful whether a pew in a church can be sold for private debts of the pewholder.450 It depends somewhat upon the title and State law of exemptions.451 To render an attachment of a pew valid, it is not necessary for the officer to come in sight of the pew or even to enter the church.452
