King v. Southwick

Opinion of the Court

J. F. Daly, J.

— The motion to vacate an attachment must be granted. The whole cause of action (which is for conspiracy and fraud) is stated on information and belief, and the sources of information are not given. Such a verification of the cause of action is proper in a pleading, but is not proper in an affidavit upon an application to obtain an attachment.

Ten dollars costs to defendant.
