Syllabus

<p>1. A final judgment for default in pleading in an action commenced by attachment of property cannot be rendered by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in vacation against a defendant of whom the court has not acquired personal jurisdiction. The judgment in such case can be rendered only by the court in term, or by the judge in vacation.</p> <p>2. An agent of the plaintiff signing an attachment bond as principal therein cannot also sign it as a surety. The requirement of the statute that there shall be two sureties calls for the responsibility or guaranty of two persons other than the principal.</p>
