After the Old
CMrl JarladlclUa
AilMkamt Laws.
ThU morning there iu an interesting
oaae np before th« Dlttrlot Court.
The rait wm brought by the San
Francieoo Exehangt against tha old
Wslle-Fargo Mining Company, an attach
ment iaraad and a levy mads on oartain
fond* In tha SharifTa hands, deposited
by TrsadvsU, aa agant (or the old Walls*
Fargo mine, to redeem tha property of
tha mina sold nndar execution in aoit of
D. £. McCarthy.
Mr. Lynoh of San Francisco entered a
epeoial appearanoe for the porpoee of
moving the Conrt to^dlsmies the oaae for
want of juriediodon, and that tha attach
ment be releaaed.
Ooanaelor Deal, in behalf of the Ex
ehangt, objected to this special appear
anoe on the ground that it was lnadmle*
aible under onr lavs and practioe. If a
defendant wanted an attachment releaaed
be mnat appear in the oaae. The plaint
iff in tbla action waa very anzione to get
an appearanoe of the defendant in the
enit.
The oourt decided that the motion to
diamiaa could be made by a special ap
pearanoe anoh aa made by Mr. Lynoh.
If the oonrthad no jnriidiotion of conree
the attaohment would fall with the enit.
After more eperrinjt between the At
torniee Mr. Lynoh atated hie grounde
of objeetion to the juriedlotion of the
oourt in the oaae. The complaint
ehowed both partiea to be California in
corporations. Neither domiciled in Ne
vada nor reeided here. The contraote
on whioh auit waa brought for 9879 were
made in San Franoiaeo. It did not appear
from any of the prooeedinge that the de
fendant bad any property in Nevada.
There waa not an averrment of a eingle
fact which would give the oourt jurisdic
tion where it had not been aoquirad by
peraonal eervlce of the eammone. Thia
had not been done in tbla caae aa the re
turne ehowed that tha defendant bad
been aerved by mail. It must either ap
pear that the plaintiff was s reeident of
Nevada or that the defendant had pro
perty here.
At thia time Mr. Lynoh referred to
the effldavit for attachment, and waa in
atantly etopped by Mr. Deal, who in
aleted that he maet appear in the caae
fully before the matter of the attach
ment could be argued. As to ths juris
diction of the Court, it waa given by the
Gonatitutioo. The amonnt of the olalm
was over 9300, and tbs Constitution
said espreeely: "The District Courts in
the eeveral JudiolalDietrioteof thie State
ehall have original juriediotion in all
easts in equity; aleo, all caaea at law
whioh involve the title or right of pos
eeeelon of real property or mining
olaime," eto.
The Court intimated that it would
heer no motion to discharge the ettaoh
ment unleaa Mr. Lynoh fully appeared
for the defendant in the oaae.
Mr. Lynoh oonlinued hie argument:
The State bad juriadiction over its own
dUzene, both in its own territory and
without it; but it oould not acquire
jurisdiction over citizens of other 8tatee
unleee it appeared affirmatively that
euch citizens had property within this
State. Thie did not eppear of record in
tbla caae and if it did, they oould only
acquire jurieillction to use that property
to satisfy • demand of a citizen of Ne
J.
'The Court here a.ked how it would to
if on* Callfornian owed another CaU
forniao, and the former had no prop
erty in California but had in Nevada?
Mr. Lynoh thought enpplemental pro
oeedinga the remedy. and an ord.r of
tba Court to apply tha prooeadi of th
aala of that property to the payment of
'^The Court aaked Mr. Lynch if ha
thought tha Courta of Callforn a would
ha*, any juriadicUon orer really in N«
T*Xhe queetion waa not anawered.
Mr. Lvnch'a iaat point waa that citi
tana of anotbar State bad no right to uaa
tha attachment lawa of thi» Btata egainat
citizen* of anothar Stata.
Tha Court did not cara to bear Mr.
Daal anrue the oppoaiUaide of thaquea
Uon Mr. Lynch waa informad that II
he wlehed to Ml -Id. tha atUch».nt
for lrra«ularity ha muat appear in the

Lynch-But that muat follow, if tha
Court haa no juriadiction in tba caee.
Court—I cannot diamiaa it for irregu
laritiea on tbia motibn.
The motion to diamiaa waa denied.
Tba Court aaid, howeter, that
it would enter judgment in tha caaa
ualnat tba defendant waa quiU another
natur, which waa not pawed upon at
all Th. remedy of auitora by attach
ment waa etatutory and tha Conrtwaa
