AN ATTACHMENT CAsE.-A case of attach.
ment came up before Esquire O'Neill, in
Wilmington, on Saturday, that has attrac-
ted considerable interest, especially as it
may test what is called an abuse of the
domestic attachment law" The facts of
the above case are substantially as follows:
Mr.. William I. johnson, our shoe manu-
facturer, some time in last November, sold
A. c. Thackery, of Wilmington, bill of
goods taking his 60 days bankable paper
with the understanding that it was to be
promptly met at maturity. Thackery al
| lowed the note to 20 to protest last week,
only offering a small payment on it, which
| Mr.. johnson insisted should be increased
to at least one half of the note, and ex-
pressed his willingness to renew the bill GO
days longer. Thackery, the day following,
would not offer but half the sum that he
first proposed to pay. Mr.. johnson, de-
string to give him all the time possible to
raise the required amount went to Phla
to attend to some business matters. Re.
turning to Wilmington the following day
he found Thackery unwilling to pay a
single dollar, and, upon being questioned
about the matter, stated that he knew his
business better than any one else, and that
he had used his money in paying bills and
deliberate misrepresentation. These and
other things aroused Mr.. Johnsons suspi
cons, and they were shortly afterward
strongly confined by one of the most
reputable citizens of Wilmington. Thackery
claims that he had no idea of leaving the
State and brought suit against johnson fOl
false swearing. The latter waved hearing
and was held in 5000 bail for his appear
ance at court to answer a charge of per
jury.
