a double barrel gun and returned, defy

levelled his gun and fired both barrels at

pistols and firing fifteen or twenty shots.
One of the balls struck Verderey in the

the fatal shot. One of the crowd was

Warner, C. J.—The above stated case
were argued together here upon the fol
lowings abstract of facts as contained in
the record thereof. [Here follows the ab
stract],
Tlie People’s Savings institution, a cor
poration created under the laws of the
State of South Carolina, and doing busi
ness in the city of Charleston, on the 9th
day of July, 1878, levied an attachment
against the South Carolina Railroad Com
pany, as a non-resideDt corporation, re
turnable to October term, 1818, of the Su
perior Court of Richmond county, on two
lots of land, situate in said county, on the
track with right to use horse power thereon,
.extending from lot first levied on through
’Washington street, Augusta, to the Geor
gia Railroad track, as granted under cer
tain contracts with the city council of Au
gusta, aud others, dated August 10,1852,
July 31,1857, and June, 1869.
On the 25th of July, 1818, Geoige W.
Williams and others, all residents of Char
leston, South Carolina, levied an attain
ment against the South Carolina Railroad
company, returnable to October term 1878,
of the Superior Court of Richmond county,
upon the same property mentioned as the
subject matter of levy in the first attach
ment; also on the bridge across the Savan
nah river, with the abutments, pier and
privileges thereof. The plaintiffs in both
cases are all residents of South Carolina.
To the pleas in both cases demurrers
were filed and on trial the demurrers sus
tained by Judge Snead in Richmond Su
perior Court and the pleas stricken and
the judgments enforced by execution. A
bill of exceptions embracing Twenty one
gmnncis -was filed in the case of the Peo
ple’s Saving Institution and one of twenty-
three grounds in the case of George W.
Williams et al. Error in the court below
was assigned on these grounds and the
judgment of the court is as follows:
The exceptions taken to the ruling of
the court below are attenuated and speci
fic, hut may be embraced in the following
objections as insisted on here by the plain
tiff^ in error as the main controlling ques
tions made by the record. First, that the
remedy by attachment could not be sus
tained in this State, because the defen
dant could have been sued here by the or
dinary process of law. Second, that the
courts of this State had no jurisdiction to
order the seizure of defendant’s property in
this State by attachment after the filing of
the bill in entity against it in the United
States Circuit Court of South Carolina,
as set forth in the record. Third, that the
levy of these attachments upon the defen
dant’s property in this State was illegal,
the same being only a part of its entire
railroad. Fourth, that Fisher, the receiver
of the United States Circuit Court,
should hat* been allowed to have
defended flic attachment suits by
filing the several pleas set forth in the re
cord. Fifth, that the court should have
granted tlie petition of Fisher, the
receiver, to take possession of the
iroperty of the dtfenlant in this State
evied on by the attachments. As to the
first ground of complaint, the South Caro
lina railroad company is a foreign corpora
tion and its residence is in that State, and
by the laws of this State attachments may
be issued when the d;btor resides out of
tlie State, and against foreign corporations.
Code 3264,3281. By tlie seventh section
of the act of 1854, the South Carolina
railroad company, by an arrangement with
tlie city council of Augusta, was allowed to
extend it3 road into s: i l city, and made
liable to be sued by persons having claims
against it in the proper courts of the coun
ties and cities of this State, but that did not
make it any the less a foreign corporation
and liable to be proceeded against by at
tachment as provided by the general laws
of the State. The provision that it might
be sued in the courts of this State was
merely a cumulative remedy for the better
protection of our people, but did not
alter or repeal the general attachment
laws of the State nor any part thereof.
As to the second ground of complaint,
the bill in equity filed in the Cir
cuit Court- of the' United States in
South Carolina, was not a general cred
itors bill, but a bill to foreclose a
certain mortgage made by the South Car
olina Railroad Company. No receiver
had ever been appointed by that court
when the attachments were levied upon
tlie defendant’s property in this State, and
the mere finding of that suit could not in
terfere with the 'hxectution of the attach
ment laws of tills State, neither the juris
diction thereof. As to the third ground,
it does not appear that the General Assem
bly has ever granted any franchises, privi
leges, or immunities, to the South Caro
lina Railroad Company, in this State,
which would prevent a levy and sale of its
property found here under legal process.
All the rights and privileges which have
been granted to it in this State, that we
have been able to discover, is to extend its
road into the city of Angusta, by an ar
rangement or contract made with tlie
council of that city, and therefore the ille-
ality of levying tlie attachments on the
efendant’s property in this State is
not apparent to us. Perhaps a
court of equity, on a proper case
being made, would restrain the
sale of that part of the defendant’s road
which is in this State under the attach
ment judgment, and decree that the entire
road oftlie defendant should be sold, but
that is not now the question here. The
question here is as to the rightof the plain-
tifls in attachment to obtain judgments
thereon in this State. In relation to the
fourth ground, the preliminary step of
Fisher, the Receiver of the United States
Circuit Court should have been to have
made application to the court below to be
made a party to the suits against the de
fendant for the purpose of defending the
same if he desired to do so. This not
having been done, there was no error In
thg court striking the pleas filed by him.
As to the fifth ground, it appears that a
receiver was already in possession of the
property, and as the only object appears to
liavebeen to got rid of the attachments
levied thereon, the petition of the receiver
was properly refused by the court.
We therefore affirm the judgment of
the court below in all the cases, with di
rections that the judgments rendered in
the attachment cases shall not be enforced
by a sale oftlie property levied on until a
reasonable time shall liave elapsed for
the final disposition of tlie injunction
granted by a decree of the circuit court of
the United States. Let tlie judgment of
the court below in all the cases be affirm
ed with directions as herein indicted.

On demurrer to the bill filed by fee
next of kin to the testator setting out the
i,and alleging that the house
andlot had been turned over to the trus
tees ana sold for $9,400 with which they
had completed the church edifice, and
that the executors had also turned over
the sum of eight thousand dollars to fee
trustees, no part of which had been applied
by feera to the erection or comple
tion of the church building, and
praying for discovery touching the use by
the trustees of said $8,000 and for ac
count and payment to said complainant’s
of said sum or such part thereof as had
not been expended in the matter of erect
ing and completing fee said church build
ing, on the ground that, by the said will
and codicil, the said $8,000 was bequeath
ed to said trustees solely to be used by
them in the erection and completion of
said church edifice, and not having been
so used they held the same intrust for the
complainants as testator’s next of kin,
there being no residuary legatees in said
will designated.
Held, 1. That even if the memorandum
was improperly admitted to record by fee
ordinary, yet it is such a paper as may be
used like other surrounding circumstances
to aid in the construction of ambiguous
clauses of the will on fee same subject
matter and being exhibited to fee bill in
connection with the will and codicils, the
memorandum may be considered on de
