Term this morning. This is the suit in which
Eiseinan replevied his stock in trade after the
orders had been passed Quashing the attach

writ OF replevin on the ground that Eiseman
HAD no right to repleyy goods in the custody of
the law and that the appeal of the creditors in
the attachment Cases had the effect of SUPER
cedIng the order quashing the same. The Gene
raj Term reversed this order holding that Else
man was right in repeVying, inasmuch as the
nars.Iai had been directed to return the prop
cry, ana that the creditors appeals in the at
