Caldwell fled irom his creditors in Paisley, Scotland, to the city of New-York. Being pursued hither by Crawford, one of his Scotch creditors, he concealed himself: and an attachment was taken out against him under the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors. (1 ft. L. 157.)
1Opinion of the Court
Curia.
The court must have overlooked that section(a) when they decided Fitzgerald’s case cited from Caines. That section sanctions this proceeding in express terms. And the motion must be denied.
Motion denied.
Vid. Revision of the laws by Kent and Radcliff, vol. I, page 242, section 20 of the act under which Fitzgerald’s case arose.
