18 Mass. 192
Hill v. Hunnewell
Opinion of the Court
The Court held, that the mere fact of entering into sucn a reference dissolves an attachment, for otherwise subsequently attaching creditors might be injured ; and that it likewise discharges bail. And Jackson J. remarked, that in order to save an attachment, it was usual for parties to enter into a reference of the action, and of all demands which the defendant has against the plaintiff.1
