Per Curiam,.
A writ of scire facias lies only to obtain execution of a judgment. This was merely an order that the defendant should give security, &c. The only mode of enforcing the performance of the order was to commit the defendant to prison until he should comply. The writ cannot be supported, and the defendant must take judgment for his costs.
