Hall v. Carney

140 Mass. 131 | Mass. | 1885

By the Court.

Railroad cars are, for the purposes of attachment, personal property. Our statutes clearly treat them as such, and provide a special mode of attaching them. Pub. *133Sts. e. 161, §§ 38, 39. In the case at bar, the attachment by the plaintiff was made in exact compliance with the Pub. Sts. c. 161, § 69; and the Superior Court rightly ruled that it was a valid attachment.

Exceptions overruled.
