county clerk, directed to the sheriff, or by the clerk of the district court, directed to a marshal. In the latter case, it must be in the same form, and executed in the same manner, as if the judgment was not so docketed.

§ 3221. Enforcement of certain judgments in favor of working women. — - In an action, brought in either of those courts, by a female, to recover for services performed by her, if the plaintiff recovers a judgment for a sum not exceeding fifty dollars, exclusive of costs, no property of the defendant is exempt from levy and sale, by virtue of an execution against property, issued thereupon; and, if such an execution is returned wholly or partly unsatisfied, the clerk must, upon the application of the plaintiff, issue an execution against the person of the defendant, for the sum remaining uncollected. A defendant, arrested by virtue of an execution so issued against his person, must be actually confined in the jail, and is not entitled to the liberties thereof; but he must be discharged, after having been so confined fifteen days. After his discharge, an execution against his person cannot be issued upon the judgment, but the judgment creditor may enforce the judgment against property, as if the execution, from which the judgment debtor is discharged, had been returned without his being taken.
