Crabb v. Jones
2 Miles 130
| Pennsylvania Court of Common P... | 1837|
Check TreatmentA doubt has been suggested whether a debt in suit between the original parties, or an unsatisfied judgment owned by the defendant could be the subject of a foreign attachment. Whatever was the law prior to the act of June 16, 1836, on that subject, its provisions now remove all difficulty as to attachments of execution. The act speaks of “ a debt due to the defendant,” without limitation as to its nature, and therefore judgments are within its scope.
Motion granted.
