Harrison v. Halley.
    April, 1738.
    Attachments — Against Lands.
    
    Reported by Edward Barradall, Esq.
    
      
      See generally, monographic note on "Attachments" appended to Lancaster v. Wilson, 27 Gratt. 624.
    
   A judgfnent having passed against the defendant and plaintiff as sheriff, the plaintiff had an attachment upon the act of Assembly against the defendant’s estate; and it was against his lands as well as goods: the coroner returned that the defendant had no goods, and that he had attached a parcel of land, upon which the plaintiff had judgment, and the laud ordered to be sold as goods taken upon a fieri facias.

N. B. This is the first attachment that has been granted against lands since the statute 5 G. 2, for the more easy recovery of debts in the plantations, upon the equity of which this practice is founded.
