the case OF Hoffman agt. Hunter. The former
had obtained judgment against Hunter and
sued out an attachment against the goods

Hunt belonging TO Hunter. Hunt answered
that he had in his hands q permanent improve

him BY Hunter as collateral security for the

payment of the amount borrowed from Hunt,

the same effect were filed, and the parties being
present were sworn and testified substantially
70 the same facts. The Chief Justice held that
IL was simply q loan Of cOllatersls, aud as il
was conclusive from the evidence that Fletcher
never parted with the ownership when he parted
with the possession OF the bond, ii could not be
condemned for Hunters debt. The motion TO
dismiss the attachment was sustained. w ID.
