Syllabus

<p>1. An execution attachment is not a “ civil suit or action ” within the meaning of §8, act of June 16, 1836, P. L. 719, authorizing either party in any civil suit or action, his agent or attorney, to enter a rule to refer the same to arbitrators.</p> <p>2. The act was intended to apply only to suits that are original in their nature. Wherefore, though the garnishee in an execution attachment pleaded nulla bona, and thereafter entered a rule to arbitrate, the rule was properly stricken off.</p>
