Court | Washington Supreme Court |
Department 2. Appeal from Superior Court, King County; Boyd J. Tallman Judge.
Action by Max Gutter against F. L. Joiner and others. Judgment for defendants, and plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
H. E Foster, for appellant.
Holzheimer Herald & Holzheimer, for respondents.
The appellant brought this action to recover alleged damages upon an attachment bond. The lower court sustained a demurrer to the complaint and dismissed the action. Plaintiff appeals.
It appears from the complaint that the respondent Joiner brought an action for alleged debt against the appellant. In that action a writ of attachment was issued upon the ground that the defendant was a nonresident. After service of the writ the defendant appeared in that action, and, without moving against the attachment gave a redelivery bond and regained possession of the attached property. A judgment was subsequently rendered in that action in favor of the defendant. Thereafter he brought this action. The question is: Does the giving of a redelivery bond in such cases waive the right of action upon the attachment bond? This court in Brady v.

Lang, 15 Ind.App. 503, 44 N.E. 555, Pixley v. Reed, 26 Minn. 80, 1 N.W. 800, and 4 Cyc. 687, and is conclusive of the question in this case.
The judgment is therefore affirmed.
I cannot concur in the holding of the majority opinion, to the effect that a defendant in whose favor a judgment has been rendered upon the merits, in an action brought against him to recover an alleged debt wherein the plaintiff has given the usual bond and caused an attachment to be issued and property of the defendant seized thereunder, waives his right to sue upon the attachment bond for...
