(1) to (8) and is inserted into each of those provisions to which it does apply. The deletion of the directive to officers renders this provision not an (intro.) and requires its renumbering to be a subsection. Section 815.13 allows directing an execution against a sheriff to persons other than the coroner. That section is renumbered to be sub. (1g) (b) of this section for more logical location.
