§ 8-399. On a judgment for money it shall be the duty of the clerk
of the court in which such judgment was rendered to issue a writ of
fieri facias * at the expiration of twenty-one days from the date of the
entry of the judgment * and place the same in the hands of the proper
officer of such court to be executed and take his receipt therefor unless
