Decided July 15, 1858

New York Supreme Court · decided 1858-07-15

The defendants in this action were non-residents, and the plaintiffs obtained an attachment against their property. The defendants appeared, and on giving the required undertaking, executed by two sureties, that the judgment which might be recovered against the defendant should be paid, obtained a discharge of the attachment, and a return of the property.

Decided 1858-07-15

Ingraham, J.

¶1—The undertaking in this case was given on dis charging an attachment against a non-resident defendant. The plaintiff moves for other sureties, on the ground that one of them is insolvent.

¶2It appears to me that this is one of those cases in which the court has no power to order additional sureties. The property has been discharged from the attachment in the mode pointed out by statute. There is no power to issue another attachment, and the court has no control over the property attached.

¶3The reasons stated by me in The Hartford Quarry Company a. Pendleton (4 Ablotts' Pr. R., 460), are applicable to this case.

¶4The same reasons are stated by Mr. Justice Hoffman, in Willett a. Stringer (15 How. Pr. R., 310), as to undertaking on appeals.

¶5Motion denied, defendants’ costs to abide event.
