2 D.C. 413
Decided May 15, 1823
TheRE were six chancery attachments, served at different times, in behalf of several creditors. The question was whether all the attaching creditors shall come in pari passu, or whether the attachment first served shall have the preference. The case was at November term, 1821. The bills do not aver that Love is insolvent. These attachments are all under the statute; and not under the general principles of equity. They do not affect the whole of the debtors’ property.
