Superior Court of Delaware, 1833

Waples v. Derrickson

Waples v. Derrickson
Superior Court of Delaware · Decided July 5, 1833
1 Del. 134

Counsel

Lawton and Frame, for plff. Cullen and Bayard, for deft.

Waples v. Derrickson

Opinion of the Court

The plff’s. counsel referred to our act of assembly requiring the deft, in an attachment to put in bail to answer any action that the plff. might bring against him; and insisted that this act controlled the English rule, if such a rule existed in the English practice. On the other side it was said that the attachment was merely a substitute for personal service with process, and the rights of bail the same as at common law.

The court directed the exoneretur to be entered.
