Boyes v. Coppinger

Opinion of the Court

By the court.

The affidavit on which a domestic attachment is grounded, has never been held to he conclusive. Such a doctrine would be attended with the most pernicious consequences. There seems no ground whatever to impeach the proofs adduced by the defendant; hut if any contrary proofs can be given, we will hear them. The giving notice to all the creditors, seems almost impracticable. The parties who have issued the process are hound to support it, when attached.

Attachment dissolved.
