Durand v. Carrington.
    A second action for the same causo is not abated by the pendency of the first, where the first was defective and the second necessary for security or for a recovery.
    Action on note by attachment. Plea in abatement — That the plaintiff commenced another action by attachment prayed out and served previous to the present writ, for the same canse, matter and thing.
    Reply — -That said first attachment was not legally served so as to hold the estate taken thereby; and the plaintiff discovering said defect, prayed out the present writ of attachment, to secure his debt and that he did not answer in or pursue said first action. Demurrer.
   Judgment — Reply sufficient — for that the second writ is not for vexation; but to secure the plaintiff’s debt.
