Tracy v. Bridges

Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County · decided 1839-12-21

THE plaintiff had judgment (Dec. term, 1838, No. 35.) against Bridges, who was a barkeeper in a hotel. The plaintiff issued an attachment of execution, in which the employer of the said Bridges, was the garnishee, and the attachment was served July 24, 1839.

Decided 1839-12-21

Per Curiam.—

¶1The 35th section of the act of 16th June, 1836, (.Stroud’s Purd. tit. Execution,) allows the attachment of execution “ in the manner” of a foreign attachment, but does not give to it all the effect of the latter kind of attachment. On the contrary, the attachment of execution, in case of a debt, is described in the words “ debt due to the defendant.” The sum of 400 dollars, spoken of in the answers, was not a debt due at the time of the service of the attachment.

¶2Rule discharged.
