¶2It is too late, to move to quash a foreign attachment, after judgment has been regularly entered upon it.
¶3This was a foreign attachment, returnable to December term, 178'7, in which judgment had been entered agreeable to the act of assembly.
¶4Ingersoll now moved, for a rule to show cause why the attachment should not be quashed; observing, that if the same thing might be done in'a circuitous manner, he supposed it could not, in this way, be deemed too late ; for, upon entering special bail, the plaintiff might be called on to show cause of action ; and attachments are often set aside, where no cause is shown.
¶6It is very late to move for a rule of this nature. If tHere is a mistake in the proceedings, but not on the merits, a rule to show the cause of action may be required, after special bail is entered. We should be afraid, however, of introducing so dangerous a practice as would be countenanced by granting the present motion.
¶7*Ingersoll said, that, if the court were of opinion, that he was toe late, ho should not certainly press the question; but waive his motion; which was accordingly done.(a)
