Levied On.

All goods, chattels, moneys or other property, both real and

personal, or any interest therein, of the judgment debtor, not

exempt by law, and all property and rights of property seized and

held under attachment in the action, are subject to execution.

Shares or interests in any corporation or company, and debts and

credits, and all other property, both real and personal, or any

interest in either real or personal property, and all other property

not capable of manual delivery, may be levied upon or released

from levy in like manner as like property may be attached or

released from attachment, except that a copy of the complaint in

the action from which the writ issued need not accompany the

writ; provided, that no cause of action or judgment as such, nor

license issued by the Territory to engage in any business,

profession, or activity shall be subject to levy or sale on

execution. Until a levy, the property is not affected by the

execution, but no levy shall bind any property for a longer period

than one (1) year from the date of issuance of the execution,

except a levy on the interests or claims of heirs, devisees, or
