Be it enacted by the Council and House of Representatives of the Territory of Wisconsin:

§ 1. In any suit hereafter to be brought, when there are two or more defendants residing in different counties of the Territory, the same may be commenced in the county where either of the defendants may reside or be found, and process may be issued by the Clerk of the Court at the time of issuing the original process, to the county or counties where the other defendant may reside or be found, which shall be served by the officer to whom the same may be directed, and returned to the court from which it issued: Provided, That if the plaintiff shall not be a resident of the Territory, and a majority of the defendants shall not be residents of the county in which suit shall be commenced as aforesaid, it shall be in the power of the court upon the application of one or more of the defendants to remove the cause for trial to the county in which he or either of them, (as the case may be) may reside.

§2. Judgment may be entered in the District Court in vacation or in term upon a plea of confession signed by an attorney of such court, although there be no suit then pending between the parties, upon filing with the Clerk the authority for confessing such judgment or declaration-place of confession and a copy of the bond, contract or other evidence of the demand for which judgment is confesssed: Provided, that the authority for confessing such judgment shall be in some proper instrument distinct from that containing the bond, coutract or other evidence of demand.

§ 3. That judgments heretofore entered on confession in vacation shall be as valid and effectual to all intents and purposes as if the same had been entered in term.

§ 4. That upon any judgment or decree heretofore rendered or entered on which no execution shall have been issued, or which it may by law be necessary to revive for any debt, damage, sum of money or costs, the party in whose favor such judgment or decree was rendered, or entered, may have execution to the Sheriff, or other proper officer, to collect the amount due on such judg

ment or decree, upon application to the proper court, accompanied by an affidavit of the party, his agent or attorney, setting forth the amount due on such judgment or decree, and that the same is unsatisfied, and the said court upon being satisfied that there is any sum due thereon shall direct the Clerk to issue execution therefor, in the manner now prescribed by law.

§ 5. That where any person shall be entitled to a con-* veyance of any lands or tenements which have been or shall hereafter be sold by virtue of any execution, or power of sale in any mortgage contained, such conveyance shall be executed by the Sheriff of the proper county, for time being.
