be docketed or not, and if the property be a debt or liability of
a third person to the judgment debtor, whether such debt or
liability be negotiable or not, any payment made by such third
person to such judgment debtor shall discharge such third person
from all further liability, to the extent of such payment,
whether such execution be docketed or not, unless such third

That any sale of property made by a merchant, dealer, or
manufacturer in the regular course of the business of such
person, shall pass such goods free from the lien of an execution,
