Samuel D. Harris, Plaintiff in Error v. James Dennie

This is a writ of error to the judgment of the supreme judicial court of the state of Massachusetts. The original action was trover, brought by the defendant in error against the plaintiff in error, for twenty-three cases of silk, which had been attached by Dennie, as deputy sheriff of the county of Suffolk, and afterwards attached by Harris, as marshal of the district of Massachusetts. The cause was tried upon the general issue, and a special verdict found, upon which the state court rendered judgment in favour of the original plaintiff.
