Wray v. Tammany

13 Pa. 394 | Pa. | 1850

Per curiam.

An attachment under the act of 1836, is pro*396cess to enforce the judgment; and it is, in substance, if not in form, an execution. It differs from a fieri facias essentially only in this, that it reaches effects, from which the debt could otherwise not be levied. It is usually called an attachment execution; but whatever the name, it is within the spirit and purview of the statute.

Judgment affirmed.
