If the party against whom an execution under a civil bill decree shall be issued shall before an actual sale of his goods seized thereunder pay or tender or cause to be paid or tendered to the sheriff, or to the bailiff employed to execute the decree, the amount specified to be levied at the foot of such decree, or such part thereof as the person entitled thereto shall agree to accept in full or in part payment of his debt, together with the lawful poundage fees and charges to the bailiffs or keepers in care of the same, the execution of the said decree shall be superseded or suspended, as the case may be, for such time as the person issuing such execution shall direct, and the goods of the said party shall be released; and any person taken into custody under any such decree who shall have satisfied the sum stated in the entry at foot thereof, or such portion thereof so agreed to be accepted as aforesaid, shall be discharged from custody, but shall be liable to be again taken for the residue, if any, which shall remain due on such decree, provided such residue shall, exclusive of the costs of such decree, exceed ten pounds.
