Tracy v. Bridges

The 35th section of the act of 16th June, 1836, (.Stroud’s Purd. tit. Execution,) allows the attachment of execution “ in the manner” of a foreign attachment, but does not give to it all the effect of the latter kind of attachment. On the contrary, the attachment of execution, in case of a debt, is described in the words “ debt due to the defendant.” The sum of 400 dollars, spoken of in the answers, was not a debt due at the time of the service of the attachment.

Rule discharged.
