CHAPTER 182
OF ATTACHMENTS.
A SUPPLEMENT to Chapter 104 of the Revised Statutes of the State of Delaware.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Delaware in General Assembly met, as follows, to wit
SECTION 1. A writ of foreign attachment may be issued out of the Superior Court of this State against any corporation, aggregate or sole, not created by or existing under the laws of this State, upon affidavit made by the plaintiff or any other credible person, and filed with the prothonotary of said court, that the defendant is a corporation not created by, or existing under the laws of this State, and is justly indebted to the said plaintiff in a sum of money, to be specified in said affidavit, and which shall exceed fifty dollars.
SECTION 2. The said writ shall be framed, directed, executed and returned, and like proceedings had as in the case of a foreign attachment issued under the chapter to which this act is a supplement, except that attachments to be issued under this act shall be dissolved only in the manner hereinafter provided.
SECTION 3. In any attachments to be issued under this act, judgment shall be given for the plaintiff at the second term after the issuing of the writ, unless the defendant shall have caused an appearance by attorney to be entered, in which case the like proceedings shall be had, as in suits commenced against a corporation by summons : Provided, however, if the defendant in the attachment, or any sufficient person for him, shall, at any time before judgment, give security for the payment of any judgment that may be recovered in said proceedings with costs, then the garnishees and all the property attached, shall be discharged, and the attachment dissolved, and like proceedings be had as in other cases of foreign attachment under the act to which this is a supplement, in which the attachment has been dissolved by special bail. Such security shall be approved, and the form and amount thereof determined by the court in term time, or by any judge thereof, in vacation : But the court may prescribe the form of such security by general rule in that behalf.
