Syllabus

<p>Receivers — Taking property into foreign jurisdiction — Attachment execution.</p> <p>1. Where money comes into the hands of receivers of an insolvent corporation appointed by the courts of another state and thereafter such money is brought by the receivers into Pennsylvania, it cannot be attached by a creditor of the corporation in this state.</p> <p>2. A receiver who has obtained rightful possession of personal property within the jurisdiction of his appointment will not be deprived of his possession, where he takes it in the performance of his duty, into a foreign jurisdiction. It cannot there be seized by creditors of the debtor residing within such foreign jurisdiction; and the rule applies not only to the personal property itself, but also to money representing the proceeds of the sale of such property, after such money has been brought into the foreign jurisdiction.</p> <p>Attachment execution — Funds received by garnishee after service of writ.</p> <p>3. The effect of an attachment is to bind all funds of the defendant debtor that come into the hands of the garnishee after service of the writ and before judgment is entered.</p>
