An execution upon a supersedeas judgment, confessed more than two months after the date of the original judgment, will be quashed.

See the following cases heretofore decided by this court, namely, Hodgson v. Mountz, at December term, 1806 [Case No. 6,569]; Smith v. Middleton, April term, 1821 [Id. 13,079]; Mandeville v.
