Syllabus

<p>Attachment under Act of March 17, 1869, P. L. 8 — ,Inception of lien— Execution.</p> <p>The lien of a writ of attachment under the act of 1869, begins from the time the writ is issued and comes into the hands of the proper officer for service; it is not necessary to effect a valid service, for the officer to take ■manual possession of the property attached at the time of the service.</p> <p>It follows that a sale of property under a fi. fa. lodged with the sheriff subsequently to the attachment does not divest the lien thereof, the sale having been made prior to the judgment obtained on the attachment.</p>
