Opinion

Curia.

Whitney had no effects in his hands liable to be attached, by this process, as the effects of Geyer. A promise to perform labor for another to a certain amount is not a chose in action attachable until the promise be broken, after which the promisee is entitled to receive the agreed value of the labor in money. But from the answer, the labor, and not its value in money, was due to Geyer and his partner when the attachment was made.
