In a Cause between Thomas Busby B al, AND Appellants, Antoine Wool man,, Executor, 3 c, Respondent, ••f/AAA/WWrmWvyvaa THE APPELLANTS' CASE. Jl HIS appeal originates in an attachment or Saisie-Arret, sued out at the instance of the Appellants' Creditors by Judgment of the succession of A. Winklcfoss, for attaching certain monies belonging to that suc- cession, in the hands of David Ross. — Upon the return of the Writ the Garnishee declared on his oath thatWoolman, the Executor of A, Win- klefoss's Will, had put into his hands X*8io : ii : 6, belonging to the said succession which he still held. The Defendant Woolman, resisted the Attachment : and by his plea contended that it had been imperfectly sued out, and could not lie, because, as Executor of Winklefosss Will, he had been sued in the same Court by one Marie ^.nne La Casse, to render an account of the Commu- nity which had subsisted between the said Winkltfoss and one Marguerite Richard, in which action he the said Woolman did render such account which is now before the Court, and that the said account he acknowledged to have in his hands 12,036"'. : 15'. : 1 1-*. which he is answerable by Contramte par corps : thence the said Woolman infers the said attach* ment to be illegal and concludes accordmgly. To this strange plea the Appellants, w^«ii>at adniitting the facts alledged, but on the contrary denying their truth, demurred. — After hearing the parties, the Court on the 20ih June, 181?, pronounced the following interlocutor — " It is ordered that the Defendant do at his diligence, notify to all persons havini* any claim upon the monies attached and seized in the hands of the garnishee as belonging to the estate of the late A. Winklefoss to appear ni this Court on the first of October next and shew cause why the said monies should not be paid over 10 the said Plaintiffs in saiisfaciion of their demand, with costs." No such cause as mentioned in this intertocutor having been shewn the Appellants on the ic^ih ot October moved the Court to award judgment m their favor against the garnishee, after a hearing, the Court to th-j great surprise of the Appellants, who had considered their rights recognized by the said interlocutor, dismissed their aciiju with costs. From A r t "^ From this judgment the present appeal has been brought. ist. Because judgment was given in favor ot the Respondents whereas It ought to have been given against them, and in favor of the Appellant, 2dly, Because the Appellants petition fyled in the Cpurt below and the attachment issued m the said cause, were legal, regular and we'l founded, and ought to have been maintained. * Qdly. Because the plea of Woolman was insufficient in law, and the allegations therein false, &c. ' '"* 4thly. Because the Interlocutory judgment of the 20th Turn. .o,« was rendered contrary to law. &c. ^ "*^' *^*^* 6thly.
