A. S. Bacon, for appellant., L. A. Gould, for respondent.

Shanks v. Magnolia Metal Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We are of opinion that there was no sufficient allegation of the fact that the defendant was a corporation. The allegation in the alternative is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Code,1 which authorizes the issuing of an attachment, in certain cases, where the defendant is a foreign corporation. If the plaintiff is not willing to make his allegation in a definite form when he proceeds against a foreign corporation, he cannot procure the benefits of the statute given him, as against foreign corporations. The order should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion granted, with $10 costs.
