Wray v. Tammany

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Wray v. Tammany, 13 Pa. 394 (Pa. 1850)

Wray v. Tammany

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

An attachment under the act of 1836, is pro*396cess to enforce the judgment; and it is, in substance, if not in form, an execution. It differs from a fieri facias essentially only in this, that it reaches effects, from which the debt could otherwise not be levied. It is usually called an attachment execution; but whatever the name, it is within the spirit and purview of the statute.

Judgment affirmed.
