The sled was exempt from attachment, but the wagon was not. Wilkinson v. Alley,
The sled was obtained and used by the plaintiff for the purpose of drawing wood and timber, cut from his wood-lot, to the market for sale, and for his own use, and the case finds that he was engaged in this business when not employed at his trade as a shoemaker; and we think the sled may be regarded as a tool of the plaintiff's occupation, within the meaning of the statute.
The wagon was a one-horse buggy, and the plaintiff used it for the purposes for which such wagons are ordinarily used. It cannot be regarded as a tool of the plaintiff's trade as a shoemaker; neither was it used for drawing wood and lumber from his land. Its use may have been a convenience, but it was not a necessity, either in the plaintiff's employment at his trade or in the use of his land; and we do not think it comes within the class of articles exempted from attachment.
Case discharged.
