Head Matter:
Saxton Mount against Saxton Ely.
IN ATTACHMENT.
Creditors not exhibiting their accounts to the auditors in attachment, until after judgment, can derive no benefit from the attachment, but may take out a new attachment against filio surplus of defendant’s properly, •if any.
The auditors had reported, and judgment had been •entered on the report at the last term ; since that time two other creditors of the defendant in attachment had exhibited their accounts to the auditors, and the auditors refused to ■receive them, supposing that their authority had expired. The property of the defendant, which had been attached, was more than sufficient to pay all the creditors who had applied.
Wall,
moved the court to open the judgment, and let the applying creditors exhibit their accounts, or for such other remedy as they were entitled to.

Opinion:
* Kirkpatrick, G. J.
I see no remedy which creditors can have under this attachment. If there is a surplus after the payment of the creditors who have applied under this attachment, they may take out a new attachment, but if there is no surplus, their remedy is gone.
