Show BOND TO ACCOMPANY ATTACHMENT APPEALS Supremo Court Upholds Ruling of District Dis-trict Judge In Case of George Wells. In an opinion handed down yesterday yester-day by the supreme court the rule is laid -down that an appeal in an attachment at-tachment action brought in a city or justice court, wherein the court has rendered judgment for defendant and dissolved the attachment, does not reinstate rein-state the attachment unless a bond for this purpose is filed with the undertaking under-taking on appeal. The opinion is rendered in the case of George Wells against Judge F. C. Loofbourow of the Third district court, which was an action for a writ of certiorari to review proceedings of Judge Loofbourow 's court in an ap- Eeal by Wells of a case from the Salt ako City court. Wells instituted suit against Fred Rutherford and his wife for an account due and attached money due them from the Utah Copper company. When the case was tried the city court rendered judgment in favor of defendants and dissolved the attachment, thus releasing releas-ing the money. Wells filed an undertaking on appeal to the district court, but did not. file anv bond on appeal. The district court ruled that as the attachment had been dissolved by the city eourt the appeal did not reinstate it. Plaintiff then applied to the supreme court for a writ of certiorari. The supreme su-preme court, after reviewing the action of the district court, finds that it was proper, orders the alternative writ quashed and the application dismissed. |
