Attachment by Telephone.


Electrical Review:
An important legal decision has
been made. A man in Boston had a
claim on some notes against a firm
in New York and wished to attach
some money. the latter had on de-
post here. The facts were tele-
phoned from Boston to a firm of
New York lawyers, who were re-
Quested to secure an attach
ment. The facts, as transmit
ted by telephone, were embodied
in an affidavit, and an attachment
was secured against the Boston
mans money in the New York
bank. A motion was made in the
Supreme court by the Boston mans
lawyers to vacate the attachment
upon the ground that it did not
appear that the Boston man had
any previous acquaintance with
the lawyers here or that they had
any means of knowing that it was
the Boston man with whom they
had spoken. Judge Barrett vacat-
ed the attachment.
