Syllabus

<p>A motion being made to dismiss the writ of error in this case on the ground that rio. Federal question was raised in the Superior Court of Massachusetts this, court holds that as Federal questions were raised on writ of ■ error to the Supreme Court of that State, that was sufficient to give this court jurisdiction.</p> <p>The objection that the writ of error should have been directed to the Supreme Court, and not to the Superior Court, is answered by McDonald v. Massachusetts, 180 U. S. 311.</p> <p>To what actions the remedy of attachment may be given is for the legislature of a State to determine: the power of counsel extends to consenting to amendments authorized by the law of the State.</p> <p>The-contention that the debts dug to plaintiffs in error by certain citizens of Massachusetts were not subject to attachment in that State because their situs was in New York cannot be maintained.</p> <p>The preference/given by McKeon to plantiffs in error was consummated in Massachusetts; and therefore the proceedings had in New York were immaterial.</p>
