Attachment of Goods (Ireland) Act, 1850

When goods are seized under attachment, plaintiff may proceed to obtain judgment.

5. In every case in which the goods of any defendant shall be seized under any such attachment, and the defendant shall not give special bail in manner aforesaid within the time now limited by law for appearing to such action or giving special bail, or according to the course of the court, it shall be lawful for the plaintiff in such action, upon filing a certificate of the marshal or other officer of the court having the custody of the goods so attached that the same are in his custody for want of special bail, to enter an appearance or file common bail for the defendant, and thereupon to serve on the defendant notice of such appearance having been entered or common bail filed, by leaving with him or at his usual place of abode a copy of such notice, and such service shall be verified on oath in such manner as the court shall direct, and the plaintiff may thereupon proceed to obtain judgment, according to the course of the court, as if an appearance had been duly entered by the defendant.
