Syllabus by the Court.
Attachment, although an ancillary remedy, and applicable to a limited class of cases, yet within its limits rests upon its own facts, and not upon the facts of the action.
R., J. & Co. sued M. in the county court, and obtained an order of attachment. On motion and hearing the attachment was dissolved. Upon the trial the defendant obtained judgment. Upon error in the district court the judgment dissolving the attachment was reversed, and upon appeal, and retrial of the action in the district court at a subsequent term, the plaintiff obtained judgment.

It appears, from the manner in which the transcript is made up and presented to this court, that, in the district court, the matter of error was first heard. I here transcribe the journal entry showing the action of the court thereon: etc.
The case, on appeal, in the district court, does not appear to have been dis posed of at the same time or term with the above proceedings, as amended pleadings are shown to have been filed in the case as late as December 16th of the same year, and, at some time not shown by the journal entries, the cause came on for trial on the amended petition, and answer thereto, presumably to the court; “and,” continues the journal entry, It further appears that thereupon the plaintiffs moved the court for an order for the sale of the attached property, as upon execution to satisfy the...
