There is one provision of the statute of
Kansas that | quote from the revised stat
ute of 1868; and cannot say. but what it
has already been amended, though l know
that in many of the Justices courts through
out the country the law is followed as |
quote; Page 7S2, Sec. 70, of tie Justices
act.
''The order of attachment shall not be is
sued BY the Justice until there has been ex-
ecuted is his Office, by one or more sufi-
Gent sureties of the plaintiff TO be approx
ed by the justice, an undertaking, not eJceed-
ing double the amount of the plaintiffs
claim, to the effect that the plaintiff
shall pay the defendant all damages
which he may sustain by reason
of the attachment, if the order be wrong
fully obtained"
What object to in this, is, the express
sion, mot exceeding | have a case in
view that illustrates this point; short
time ago a party in this county sued out
an attachment against another party, for 4
debt of S47S, and gave bond according TO
law. Personal property was levied on by
the Constable in fact to about the amount
of one hundred and fifty dollars worth, but
only appraised by the appraisers at S67.
They alledging that property at forced sale
never sold at half its worth, and they wish
ed to get it appraised at about what it
would bring. Now suppose the attach
ment to have been wrongfully issued, and
suppose the defendant to seek redress on
the bond how much can he obtain? The
law is not in that spirit of the constitution
which says the right of the people to be
secure in thier persons and property against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall be
inviolate.
