   By the Court,

Co wen, J.

The act on this subject has made no provision for the continuation of the proceedings after the death of the attaching creditor, and they must therefore be considered to have abated by his death. Had other creditors come in and) claimed the benefit of the attachment, a different case would have been presented.

Motion granted.
