    *Colwell, Administrator, v. Bank of Steubenville.
    In foreign attacnment under tbe act of 1810, judgment is erroneous unless three months’ notice be given.
    This case came up on writ of error, before Judges Burnet and Sherman, at the July Term, 1826, in Union county.
    It was a writ of foreign attachment on which final judgment had been rendered in the court of common pleas.
    From the record it appeared that notice of the issuing of the writ had been published only six weeks, which was the principal error relied on.
    The cause was submitted without argument.
   By the Court :

It appears that the writ of attachment issued under the statute passed in 1810, and that the plaintiff has pursued the fourth section of that act which relates to domestic attachments, instead of the fifteenth section which directs the mode of proceeding on foreign attachments. This section requires a notice of three months before the rendition of judgment, and expressly provides that no judgment shall be entered in cases to which it relates, until the notice required shall have been given.

As this is a statutory proceeding unknown to the common law, it is necessary to pursue it strictly.

Judgment reversed.
