Opinion of the Court

THE COURT (MeKENNAN, Circuit Judge, and CADWALADER, District Judge.)

sustained the demurrer with leave to the complainant to withdraw or amend his bill without prejudice, saying, that attachment exe*1198cution in Pennsylvania was a means given to the creditor of obtaining satisfaction of his debt at a final stage of the suit, and that in its nature it was an execution intended to accomplish the same result as a writ of fieri facias, and was not therefore dissolved under section 14 of the bankrupt act.
