73 Ga. 491 | Ga. | 1884
The defendant in error sued out an ■-attachment against the plaintiff in error on an account for rent because the plaintiff in error resided out of .the state. Plaintiff in error moved to dismiss the same, on the ground that it was void under the ,14th amendment to the constitution of the United States, which motion the court overruled. The defendant also insisted that the court should have rendered judgment in said case, and that the same should not have been left to a jury. This was also overruled ; and these two grounds form the errors excepted to.
• No one ever dreamed that the attachment laws of the several states, authorizing attachments against non-resident defendants, were violative of the constitution of the United States. Argument is unnecessary. Cooley’s Const. Lim., 492, and cases cited. Corporation not a citizen. 1 Black R., 2.86.
Judgment affirmed.
