Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Shaw v. Shuppel

4 Walk. 181

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided June 2, 1884·No. No. 413·Published

Opinion

The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Common. Pleas on June 2nd, 1884, in the following opinion:

Per Curiam.

We are clearly of opinion that the Act of March 17th, 1869, P. Laws 8, does not authorize the attachment to issue on a claim not due. The purpose of the attachment is to secure a lien to await the recovery of a judgment. If the debt is not due when the attachment issues a judgment cannot be recovered. The proceeding is unlike one under the Domestic Attachment Laws J Lieberman vs. Hoffman, 2 Pennypacker 211.

Judgment Affirmed.
