I believe the law has run its coarse on someone who owes a lot of money on goods and chattles and the municipality is involved to the extent that the sherriff is empowered to hire an auctioneer and sell off goods until enough money is raised to pay off creditors. Here we have "tax" sales whereby perons who owe three or more years taxes on their property can have their property sold, the taxes owing deducted and given the balance.
