• 25 Fla. 765

Syllabus

<p>1. Under the mechamos’ lien law of 1885, providing that the liens “shall be enforced by attachment in manner provided by law,” the reference is to the general attachment law of the State, and not to attachments authorized in special cases.</p> <p>2. In the affidavit for the attachment under this act of 1885 it is not required that any of the grounds of attachment in the general law shall be set forth, but only that the facts which constitute the lien should appear as ground therefor, and that otherwise it should conform to that law.</p> <p>3. The remedy provided relates to the “ manner ” of obtaining an attachment — that is, by appropriate affidavit and bond.</p> <p>4. An attachment bond is not insufficient in respect to the require nrent that it shall be “in double the debt or sum demanded,” because the amount demanded does not appear in the bond, if it is in fact in double that amount, and so shown by the affidavit.</p>
