CHAPTER 252
(Senate Bill 854)

AN ACT to repeal Section 17 of Article 9 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1968 Replacement Volume), title "Attachments," subtitle "Attachments on
Original Process," and to enact a new Section 14 of the same Article, Code and
Title, to stand in the place of the section so repealed and to be under the new
subtitle "Attachments in General," to clarify the law relating to attachments
other than attachments on original process, and to correct improper codification
dating from the Codes of 1860 and 1888.

WHEREAS, Chapter 40, Laws of 1715, as supplemented by Chapter 321, Laws
of 1831, enacted certain statutes which dealt with the subject of execution of a
judgment by way of attachment, which ultimately were codified as portions of
Sections 18 and 29 of Article 10, Code of 1860, and as Sections 17 and 29 of
Article 9, Code of 1888; and
