BLATCHFORD, District Judge.
The attachment must be assumed to have been properly issued on the 8th of June. It was legal and valid until it was dissolved. It was dissolved on the 10th of June. The assignment which dissolved it related back to the commencement of the proceedings in bankruptcy (section 14). The filing of the petition on the 10th of June, followed by an order of adjudication, was the commencement of proceedings (section 38). The attachment was, therefore, dissolved by the assignment as of the 10th of June. The title to the property attached vested in the assignee as of the 10th of June, but it so vested subject to all subsisting liens then existing on the property. The attachment was not vacated or made void ab initio. It was only dissolved from and after June 10th. The proceedings of the sheriff under it, up to June 10th, were regular and valid, and I think he has a lien on the property, for his fees which accrued prior to the filing of the petition, but to no greater extent.
