. IMPORTANT LAw-The Act of the 10Th OF
1 A pril. 1919, which was in force in Phlladel-
rha and Luzrrne counties only, commonly
> called the Shelil's Intprpleader Act, has re-
. Gently been extended 10 the whole State, by ar
i Act Of the LEGISLATURE. Il is almost Uerbofim
! c. %. s ;, aud he Courts Of Philadelphia haTvf
t adopted The English practice under it. This j,
;. one OF the most important and Salutary laws that
:, has yet been passed by the present Legislature
: II applies in all cases where execution is issued
I against and levy IS made upon property as the
/ property OF A., bnt which is claimed by b., in
r which case B. gives notice 10 he Sheriff that
: the property does mol belong 10 A.. but that il
: belongs to him, B. Whereupon the Sheriff
: asks for a rule from the Court whence the ex-
Y eCulon was issued, 10 call before said Court the
s party issuing the process and the party making
: the claim, that said parties, may try The title in
the property and that the Court NAV decide 10
whom it belongs. This is a much speedier and
\ more satisfactory way, and less hazardous and
expensive TO both the Sheriff and the parties,
i than the old method of allowing the Sheriff 10
sell, and then prosecuting him for trespass.
