J. W. Burton v. Sarah F. Wingate.
    Attachment — Property in Hands of Agent — Notice of Sale — Change of Possession.
    Property, in the hands of an agent who has no notice of salé made prior to the levy of the attachment, is subject to the attachment as possession did not follow the sale.
    February 9, 1872.
    APPEAL FROM LOUISVILLE CHANCERY COURT.
    
      Russell, for appellant.
    
    
      J. G. Moore, for appellee.
    
   Opinion of the Court by

Judge Lindsay:

Mrs. Brent, who held' the attached property as the agent of the debtor Stephen G. Burton, had received no notice of the alleged sale to the appellant up to the time the order of attachment was levied. It seems to us perfectly manifest that in point of fact no change -of possession actual or constructive followed the sale. Wherefore; the court below correctly adjudged the piano subject to the attachment, and properly dismissed appellant’s petition. The rule against appellant and 'his surety to pay the value of the attached property according to the terms of their 'bond has not yet been finally disposed of; hence the proceedings thereunder are not now subject to revision by this court.

The judgment dismissing appellant’s petition is affirmed.
