Austin v. Wade

Austin v. Wade
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided February 15, 1813
3 N.J.L. 998

Austin v. Wade

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

Wade, by virtue of his attachment, did not acquire a property in the wagon; until it was sold under the attachment, it was in the custody of the law. We do not think that Wade, in this case, made out a cause of action.

Judgment reversed.

Explained in Reeves v. Johnson, 7 Halst. 29. Cited in Melville v Brown, 1 Harr. 363.
