On an unspecified date in 1825, the General Court laid down rules for real estate attachment. A Sheriff or other officer had to tell the Town Clerk the name of the defendant, a description of the subject property, its value, the name of the plaintiff, the court of jurisdiction, and the time and date of delivery to the Clerk. The Clerk had to receive and file the information, have an alpha list of people involved, and note when all attachments were removed from the property. If there were no attachments to a particular property, he was to provide a certificate to that effect to anyone who asked. There was a paragraph outlining potential fees for the Clerk, but no numbers were filled in, nor was there a date of effect.
