[The last two forms are usually written on the inventory.] The way of making a distress for rent in arrear is to go for making a upon the premises for which the rent is due, and taking hold of some piece of furniture or other article there, to say, if the distress is made by the landlord himself, "I seize this chair, (or other thing, as the case may be,) in the name of all the goods and effects on these premises, for the sum of L. years' rent due to me at last;" or if the distress be made by some person empowered by the landlord, say, "for the sum of L. due to A. B., Esq., the landlord of these premises, at last, by virtue of an authority from him to me given for this purpose." The inventory is then made, and a copy served on tenant, with the notice thereto annexed, or under-written; and if the rent is not paid, or goods replevied at the end of the seventh day, or other time allowed or agreed upon, the same may be appraised and sold, and any surplus, after paying rent and ex penses, must be paid to the tenant.
