Whenever any sheriff or coroner, or other person to whom any writ of execution is directed levies on the goods and chattels or on the real estate of the party named therein, and such sheriff, coroner or other person dies or becomes disabled by law to discharge the duties of his office or appointment, or removes himself out of the jurisdiction of the state, and continues to reside thereout, without discharging the duties of his office or appointment, by a sale of the property or estate so levied on, then, or in either of such cases, the court, in which judgment is or shall be had, may proceed in a summary manner to order the sheriff or coroner, for the time being, of the county where the levy was made, to sell the property or estate so levied on, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the whole or the residue of the moneys due on such execution.
