The plaintiff sued the defendant in the Circuit Court of Grundy County to .recover
It was also assigned as a ground to discharge the attachment that the affidavit upon which it was issued recited that, ‘ ‘ to the best of her knowledge and belief, defendant . . . has fraudulently disposed ox his property, or is about to fraudulently dispose of it, so that the ordinary process of law cannot be served on it,” without averring, as a matter of fact, that he has made, or is about to make, such fraudulent disposition. It is claimed that the statement in the affidavit means only that information has been had and. the belief exists. The effort is made to bring this case within the rule laid down in Nelson v. Fuld & Co., 89 Tenn., 466, where the allegation was “that complainant is informed and believes that said Fuld & Co. have fraudulently disposed of, or are about fraudulently to dispose of, their property.” In the present case, the allegation is that to the best of her knowledge and belief, which is entirely sufficient' under the authorities.
