Tire following opinion on a case of at tachment was delivered by Judge Moht oomeiiv, at the late sittings of the Supe rior court for Richmond county. 'Die merchant and the Planter will find it equally interesting. SELLECK, -) vs. (. ATTACHMENT. THUESDALE, j The point before the court is, whether affidavits contradictory to the affidavit on on which the attachment was founded, will be received and acted upon by the court, so far as to dismiss the attachment. This point is of considerable importance to the commercial interest,and has involv ed a wild lange of argument. On this sub ject there are few adjudged cases. Fo reign attachments only exist in England by virtue of the custom of London, and are tried in the mayor’s or sheriff's courts, of whose procedings we have no reports. As far as the courts of our sister states . have adjudicated, they have proceeded on local sialillM, in some respects similar, ' and in othan dissimilar to our own. In Pennsylvania, cases of attachment are of two kinds.—Foreign attachment under their law, like our own, is only a process to compel an appearance, and is dissolv ed by putting in special bail. It issues only against debtors, not resident within the State. A domestic attachment issues against residents of tile state who ab scond or conceal themselves, to avoid pay ment. Bv it, all the estate of the ab sconding debtor is seized, vested in tins tees, and distributed among his creditors. It is not dissolved by putting in special bail It was observed by the counsel for the de fendant in this case, very candidly, that in the acts of Pennsylvania, there was a special provision allowing contradictory proof. By referring to the act iisrlf, I find >h«t provision relates only to domestic attachments. The act of Pennsylvania, with regard to Foreign Attachments, con tains no such provision. The courts in deciding on the question of dissolving fo ivigil attachments, do not decide on any stationary provision. Inlhccaseofl)oanc% administrator, vs. Pen! allow et a), Ist Dallas, 218, Shipped, president, says— «*The motion to dissolve these attach “ ments is founded on a rule and practice «« of this court. In cases of foreign at « taol-imenls, they will examine into the “ plaintiff's cause of action, and if they “ find it nut u» be such as would entitle •< him to hold the defendants to special “ bail, they will dissolve the attachment. “ This rule was founded on the mischiefs “ which were found to arise fr< nr ground “ less attachments of the ships and pro it petty of persons not inhabitants or resi “ dent within tins state, and is coirforma “ ble to the spirit of the attachment law.” This was a case of foreign attachment, and the attachment was dissolved on the ground tl at the cause of action was exclu sively of admiralty jurisdiction- In the 1 case of Lazarus Barnet, Ist Dallas 132, the attachment was dissolved on the ground that the defendant was an inlia hit ant of the state, at the instance of a creditor who had sued out a domestic at tachment, ami the fact was made known to the court by affidavit. Indeed, the uniform practice of tbe ceurU of Pennsyl vania, it to receive contradictory affida vits, and to dissolve a foreign a'tachment ' on suck proof. The case in Haywood, : 36f>, is certainly against any proof being let in to disprove the fae s mentioned in {lie affidavit. In tliisconllict ol suthoiily, 1 neither of which is binding on this court, ' I must decide upon principle Incur ! own courts the question is yet to be-adju dicated. 1 have heard of a case where the" defendant was dead, Sc the plainliffswpre that he so concealed himself that the ordinary process of <hi law could not be served unon h-m. Upon proof of ihe tact, ■ Gig court dismissed the attachment. In the case of Winter vs. Oliver, in this court, 1 it was decided that the court would hear niid act upon affidavits not contradictory ’ to the oatii of the plaintilf. That aitach ; rnmit went off upon an insufficiency in the affidavit of the attaching creditor. The 1 law authorizes attachments.to issue in giv en cases. It requires the oath ofllie plain -1 tilf to the existence of certain facts. Did ' the legislature, when as a guard lor the debtor, it requited the oath ot thcjcreditor, 1 intend that oath to be conclusive ? Her ' tainly not. If they did, why should it not ‘ be also conclusive evidence of the debt p Hut far from it, the debt must be proved * by evidence aliunde. By the pleadings o ’ the fact of residence beyond the state ot f absconding, etc. arc not put in issue. I lie 1 only fact for the jury to try is. the exist * ...ice of the debt. What follows?-1 hat : an attachment mav bp sued out under a f mistake, and the property of the citizen ; seized w hen lie is quietly silting W.tn Ins ; (a-ni'v ready u> answer the laws ot h>s 1 ooimCrv, civ iliter or uriminahter. In such ’ a case there would be no remedy. In * dir.'.incut for perjury we.fed not ho cl ui). The bond would be nugatory as if the debt existed, a vyrdicl must go, and the condition ol the bond is oiily if the pbiin tilf should discontinue or be cast in Lis suit. \\ liether under the cbcums'ances an action on the case wou.J lie js d iemt ful; at any rate the damages would Hi small. M here the plaintiff rcsid -d with out the state, he would be beyond the pro* cess ol this court. As justice therefore requires if, the acts appear to me to war. rant it. As Ihe decisions of similar stat utes authorize, 1 .will receive the affida vits; if they arc; clear 1 will dismiss the j attachment; if doubtful, I will send the case .o a jury to decide ; if the proof is un satisfactory, I will retain the attachment and require the defendant to plead to it. 'I he billowing is published in reference to a proposition ma le by Mr Jackson, for tiie establishment of a “ tribunal to enquire into tbe qualifications.of persens claiming to practice medicine, &c. in Savannah.” It is taken from u treatise on the Prussic Acid, by Magendle, the celebrated phy. 1 siologist;—translated by Dr. Granville* and re-printed at Ntw-llaven during the past year. Sknac, the illustrious author of tlie Treatise on the structure of the heart, says, in the preface to his admirable work, that medicine is a subject of delirium to most minds. Undoubtedly this learned physician meant to designate by this cner getic phrase tlie strange, but general nia. nia.of reasoning on medicine without having acquired the first notions of it,— But lie meant above all to point out tliat other mania no less singular but much more dangerous, according to which a physician should neglect physics, chemis try, and the other natural sciences, and devote himself entirely to practice. This is almost like advising a blind man to look well at ob jects to acqidre instruction. is lie not indeed blind who in approach ing a patient, knows neither the structure of the ho ly, nor the play of tlie organs, nor their material alterations ; who in ig norant of the iiiHutnce of physical agents on life, or perhaps oven of tlie exist ence of these agents, who is no better informed about the chemical nature, and tlie physiologial properties of the medi cines which lie employs? With no other merit but a stupid routine, masked Junc’er the name of experience, he will have no means of perceiving the morbid pheno mena wliicli may pass before him, and what lie shall be able to sec will be equal ly within the reach of the vulgar. This madness which Scnac combated in his time by his example and his writ ings, is far from being entirely eradica ted; many persons, otherwise very re spectable, share it still, some recent pub lications consecrate it, certain schools re sound with it, and its consequences, so favourable lo idleness and pedantry, are received with eagerness by the multitude. It is however this absurdity which has always opposed the progress of medicine, which rejected for thirty years the disco very of the circulation of the blood, which made the Parliament condemn tar tar cmelic, incl which long denied the febrifuge virtue of cinchona; which at ibis moment declaims against the utility of physiological experiments and the ra tibmflaml restricted application of che-j mistiy to medicine, & would even bring 1 us back to the treatment of diseases by I amulets, talismans, and magic words, for , many diseases might be cured as well by \ these ridiculous means, as by some others { now in favor. - . j All those who are interested in the I happiness of man, and the progress of knowledge, should strive to eradicate this pernicious error. We cannot do if by reasoning alone; for wliat effect cmb the most severe logic have on prejudiced* understandings ? For the Chronicle. Mn. Editor, IN common with many of my fellow citizens, I was a good deal sur prised at a decision of the Judge of our , Superior Court, at the last term, making the protests of Inland Hills of Exchange and Promissory Notes no evidence whate ver of the facts contained in them, and the protests of Foreign Bills, evidence of a demand merely. Tims making it in cumbent upon the holder, in an action u gainst the Drawer or Endorser, in all ca ses U) prove the Notice, and in cases-ol Inland Hills and Promissory Notes the demand a’so by examining the Notary in open Court, or by interrogatories, or ad ducing other proof of those facts inde pendently ot Hie Protest ; although such facts may be set forth most explicitly and circumstantially in the protest itself. Tlie practice 1 am told has lieretofo c been different, and that it was reversed by the decision to which 1 have alluded ; for the first lime promulgated at the last term. J But as I have sl;tce understood that this decision of the Judge is founded upon law, and an attorney, a friend of mine, h iving pointed out to me a decision til the Supreme Court i f trie United Stales, (reported I think in 6th Wheaton) lo that effect : it occurcd to me that the ' Legislature of our state would perhaps, were the mailer brought before them, legalize and sanction the former practice, which certainiy was very convenient, and has much lo recommend it. But instead of pointing out the advantages of the old practice, I will enumerate some of the most striking disadvantages ot tlie new. I think it impolitic in a moral point of view. Every Notary Put)lie before en tering upon the dalles ol his ollfee is (I believe) sworn to perform those duties faithfully and honestly. If then, acting under the sanction of an oath, ai d that moral obligation to speak the truth which is felt by every man in society, lie slates , in the prole I all those facts necessary to enable the Plaintilf U) recover and which he would but reiterate on his examination • under the authority of the Court. To 1 require this lepelition is not merely an C unnecessary multiplication of official and f judicial oaths, but it really detracts from ; the sanctity and solemnity of‘.he oaths - themselves; already too much impaired l by *he frequency aud indifference with , w hich they are administered, it unne i ceasurdy increases the costs of suit alrea s ily sufficiently onerous. By multiplying s u i.l increasing the difficulties of proof ot h me part of the holder it diminishes tha' i-1 free circulation of negotiable securitici i r which is ihe very life ol commerce. Ant . 1 .’ilw.M.rh evitr. •nercar. lie man must, wit! ■ mi- admit that punctuality is the soul of i business ; an.l that tiie defaulting debtor should lijriin iownis ;ic- an object of pc i culiar favour with the law. Vet the ob vious tendency of this invention of prac tice is to afford faoibties to lite debtor of resisting the just claims of bis creditors; tlms Weakening die moral obligation of ft justice ; impairing the confidence be tween man and man ; increasing litiga tion ; and multiplying difficulties in the remedy, if ndt impairing the obligation of contracts. Happy, if these remarks will draw the attention of the Legislature to this sub ject. 1 have the honor to be Yours &c. MERCA I'Lilt • COMJICMCATHB. Fire ami Smoke, nr the Steam Bout.

Cotton Hons. After some irrelevant matter, the Na tional Intelligencer of the Ist'inst. says,— We know, (and who does not i) that at every session of Congress certain laws must be passed : it requires no witch therefore to guess at those as being sub jects which are likely to engage the at tention of Congress. Such are the ne cessary appropriations of money for the support of the civil lijtj the navy; of the army (including all the various brandi es of expenditures tinder eacn .head.) Such, also, are tne measures of loans or new taxes, required to supply the known deficiency in the revenue out of which these appropriations are to be paid—in cluding the proposition for reducing the sinking fund, which has been lately thrown out in a Philadelphia paper. These are subjects which are obliged to come in review before Congress. There is another class of subjects of great im portance, which it is morally certain will present themselves. We will particular ize a few of them only, viz : the establish ment of an uniform system of bankruptcy ; the organizat ion of a government, for the Territory of Florida,; the revision of the tariff’of duties on the importation of for eign merchandize ; the establishment of additional jiost roads; the com] lotion of the publick buildings; the revision or re-enaction of the laws for regulating trade anil intercourse with the Indian tribes, f*c. Every one may sec, with half an eye, that these subjects, several of them ol great moment, wilt all come before Con gress during the approaching session. There is another class of topics, which it is ten to one will be the subject of de bate, if not of legislation; such ns the state of our navigation laws quo ad France and Great Britain ; the conilict of juris i diction between the Federal and Slaty I Courts ; the proposition for granting • lands to the old slates in the same propor i tion as to the new; the establishment of j a system of encouragement to internal im | pruvomenta ; the prosecution of further I measures for the suppression of the Slave Trade, ike. > In addition, let us suppose various pro positions to he made for amending the Con jalitutioii; for reducing the roll of navy of fleers of a certain grade ; for re-moulding the army ; fur abolishing the Military A Cidemy ; for reducing the pay of the Mem bers of Congress, and of other public offi cers—most of which we hope w ill utterly fail. Suppose all this, and let a few con jectures as to the results of doubtful ques tions be thrown in—and the Editor of the Journal w ill have a recipe, tp which lie is , heartily welcome, for manufacturing an ar ticle on the subject of the approaching Session of Congress, quite as satisfactory as any that we could have prepared- Another Pirate Caught.
