Foyles v. Kelso
Foyles v. Kelso
Opinion of the Court
The judgment in this case was against Foyles on a domestic attachment. As this is an extraordinary remedy given by statute, and the proceedings are ex parte, justice would require that a strict observance of every material requisition of the statute should appear in the record, in order to entitle the plaintiff to recover. The second section of the act authorizing domestic attachments provides, that, on the service and return of the attachment, the clerk shall notify the defendant of the pendency there of by advertisement
In this record the names of but eleven jurors appear. This is at present rendered unimportant; but it would be advisable
The judgment is reversed, and the proceedings subsequent to the return of the attachment are set aside, with costs. Cause remanded, &c.
Stat. 1817, p. 100; — 1823, p. 62. The affidavit, writ of attachment, and declaration if there be one, must appear in the record. Bond v. Patterson, ante, p. 34. So must the bond. Cousins v. Brashier, ante, p. 85.
