If the execution be against the property of the judgment debtor, it must require the governor, or his deputy, to satisfy the judgment with interest out of the personal property of such debtor, and if sufficient personal property can not be found, then out of his real property; 2. If it be against real or personal property in the hands of the personal representatives, heirs, devisees, legatees, tenants, or trustees, it must require the governor, or his deputy, to satisfy the judgment, with interest, out of such property; 3. If it be against the person of the judgment debtor, it must require the governor, or his deputy, to arrest such debtor and commit him to the jail of the province until he pays the judgment, with interest, or be discharged, according to law; 4. If it be issued on a judgment made payable in a specified kind of money or currency, it must also require the governor, or his deputy, to specify the same kind of money or currency in which the judgment is made payable, and payment must be refused in any other kind of money or currency; and in case of levy upon the sale of the property of the judgment debtor, payment from any purchaser at such sale in any other kind of money or currency than that specified in the execution must be refused.
