John Gardiner, jun. against President and Directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania, garnishees of Richard M. Bell.
    A share of bank stock attached, cannot be transferred on a judgment in foreign attachment.
    A case was stated for the opinion of the court, whether the defendants, as garnishees, were authorized to pay and deliver, or in any way bound, to transfer to the plaintiff upon a judgment in a foreign attachment, the share of bank stock attached in this action ?
    Jonathan Smith, the cashier of the bank, had been examined upon interrogatories-, and swore, that-the amount of dividends due on the share was 182 dollars, for which judgment had been entered ; the costs to be paid by the plaintiff.
    The court inquired of the counsel, in what mode it was proposed the transfer should be made; as the presence of the stockholder, or some person constituted in his behalf for that purpose, was necessary on the occasion. They admitted that no mode had occurred to them.
