ATTACHMENT CAsE.-An interesting attach
ment case came up before Judge Walters, in
Bel Air, last Wednesday. Samuel Wilson being
indebted TO the Patapsco Guano Company,
Sheriff Walker attached 1000 cases of tomatoes
in his canning factory. The goods were after
wards shipped to E. B. Mallory q Co., who, it
wasalleged, had bought and paid for them before
the attachment was laid. The Sheriff neglected
to take bond for the goods when they were at
tached. The question to determine was the
ownership OF the goods at the time they were
attached. If they did not belong to Mallory u
Co., as alleged, the Sheriff is placed in an awk-
ward predicament by allowing them to get out
of his custody withoutan indemnifying bond
Messrs. Stevenson Archer and Maynadier ap-
peared for Mr.. Wilson, Williams and Vim.
Young for the Patapsco Guano Company and
Stump and Hopkins for Sheriff Walker. The
case was continued until to-day.
