Tire following opinion on a case of at

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.

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
