THE HARDsHIPs OF THE ATTACHMENT
LAW,

The severity of the home Attachment Law
upon persons OF small means generally thoee
whose labor is their only cspital-appears 10
several particulars. Its operation is such thAt
it may be justly said to fall only upon that class
1t is used for the recovery Of small amounts,
sued out before Justice, where seizures ale
made by the county eonstables. In cases where
the claim is over 800, the defendant is gener-
ally able to employ counsel, and TO adopt the
necessary legal measures to have the attach
ment seizure released. On the other hand,
poor persons, trusting to the justice Of the law
itself and unable to fee an attorney, are seized
upon, and sold ont under execution, by the sum
mary processes OF this infamous law.
Moreover. the law itself discriminates against
the poor debtor, in favor Of the rich one. In
order to effect release OF goods from an attach
msnt, where the claim is large-over 500
personal bail is furnished and the goods are
gwen up, until the long processes Of suit at
law are accomplished the debtor being able, in
the meantime, to sell the goods and pocket the
money. II, however, the claim is less than 800,
a. is almost always the case where the attach
ment process is used, the personal bail is helt

gives surety which is practically " straw bail
While the poor debtor must find bail to stant
god for the claim, or his goods are sold out, te
fore he can turn around
Wages are the principal prey Of the Attach
ment Law. Though the rich debtor may hav
