general execution
The ordinary execution issued upon a judgment; a writ which directs the sheriff to levy upon property of the defendant which is not exempt in such amount as to satisfy the judgment, as distinguished from a special execution, as in a mortgage foreclosure, where the writ directs levy upon the property covered by the mortgage.
