Plain-English Summary
Sometimes one round of execution isn't enough. When a further writ issues to sell property already taken in an earlier execution, Section 758 lets the person entitled to the judgment's benefit ask the issuing officer to add a specific command: if the unsold property on hand looks insufficient to satisfy the judgment, the executing officer must levy on additional lands, goods, or chattels of the debtor to make up the difference.
