Decided July 15, 1842

New York Supreme Court · decided 1842-07-15

<p>An attachment against a foreign corporation cannot be allowed by a judge or com missioner during the actual session of the court.</p> <p>Accordingly, where an attachment was thus allowed, though during the third week of the session; held, irregular.</p>

Decided 1842-07-15

By the Court, Bronson, J.

¶1Attachments against foreign corporations may be issued by the court—which must mean when it is in session—or by a judge or commissioner “ in vacation.” (2 R. S. 459, § 16.) The intention of the legislature seems to have been that the court should be moved whenever that course wTas practicable 3 but in other cases, to prevent a failure of justice, the writ might be allowed at chambers. For some purposes the terms of the court are considered as ending with the second week 3 but the issuing of attachments is excepted from that provision. (2 R. S. 197, § 5.) The commissioner was not authorized to allow the writ in term time.

¶2Motion granted.
