Wallace Lithgow & Co. v. Byrne

Plaintiff appealed from the judgment of the lower court, - setting aside, on motion of defendant, a writ of sequestration issued in this case.

■ One of the grounds of the motion is, that the affidavit for sequestration • is informal and insufficient.

• William Pyne, who is no party to this suit, made the affidavit; but in no part thereof does he state that he had authority from plaintiff to make such an oath.

. There is no allegation in the petition stating such agency; nor any evidence whatever thereof.

Such agency must be special (see Civil Code 2966), and there must be evidence thereof produced to the court, by affidavit or otherwise, before a writ of sequestration can be sued out by an agent.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
