friend, or to a party.
[1913 Webster]
2. That by which one thing is attached to another;

4. (Giv. Law)
(a) A seizure or taking into custody by virtue of a legal
process.
(b) The writ or percept commanding such seizure or taking.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The term is applied to a seizure or taking either of
persons or property. In the serving of process in a
civil suit, it is most generally applied to the taking
of property, whether at common law, as a species of
distress, to compel defendant's appearance, or under
local statutes, to satisfy the judgment the plaintiff
may recover in the action. The terms attachment and
arrest are both applied to the taking or apprehension
of a defendant to compel an appearance in a civil
action. Attachments are issued at common law and in
chancery, against persons for contempt of court. In
England, attachment is employed in some cases where
capias is with us, as against a witness who fails to
appear on summons. In some of the New England States a
writ of attachment is a species of mesne process upon
which the property of a defendant may be seized at the
commencement of a suit and before summons to him, and
may be held to satisfy the judgment the plaintiff may
recover. In other States this writ can issue only
against absconding debtors and those who conceal
themselves. See Foreign, Garnishment, {Trustee
process}. --Bouvier. --Burrill. --Blackstone.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Attachment, Affection.
Usage: The leading idea of affection is that of warmth and
tenderness; the leading idea of attachment is that of
being bound to some object by strong and lasting ties.
There is more of sentiment (and sometimes of romance)
in affection, and more of principle in preserving
attachment. We speak of the ardor of the one, and the
fidelity of the other. There is another distinction in
the use and application of these words. The term
attachment is applied to a wider range of objects than
affection. A man may have a strong attachment to his
country, to his profession, to his principles, and
even to favorite places; in respect to none of these
could we use the word affection.

ATTACHMENT
(bouvier) | ATTACHMENT, crim. law, practice. A writ requiring a sheriff to apprehend a
particular person, who has been guilty of. a contempt of court, and to bring
the offender before the court. Tidd's Pr. Index, h.t.; Grab. Pr. 555.
2. It may be awarded by the court upon a bare suggestion, though
generally an oath stating what contempt has been committed is required, or
on their own knowledge without indictment or information. An attachment may
be issued against officers of the court for disobedience or contempt of
their rules and orders, for disobedience of their process, and for
disturbing them in their lawful proceedings. Bac. Ab. h.t. A. in the nature
of a civil execution, and it was therefore held it could not be executed on
Sunday; 1 T. R. 266; Cowper, 394; Willes, R. 292, note (b); yet, in. one
case, it was decided, that it was so far criminal, that it could not be
granted in England on the affirmation of a Quaker. Stra. 441. See 5 Halst.

ATTACHMENT
(bouvier) | ATTACHMENT, remedies. A writ issued by a court of competent jurisdiction,
commanding the sheriff or other proper officer to seize any property;
credit, or right, belonging to the defendant, in whatever hands the same may
be found, to satisfy the demand which the plaintiff has against him.
2. This writ always issues before judgment, and is intended to compel
an appearance in this respect it differs from an execution. In some of the
states this process can be issued only against absconding debtors, or those
who conceal themselves; in others it is issued in the first instance, so
that the property attached may respond to the exigency of the writ, and
satisfy the judgment.
3. There are two kinds of attachment in Pennsylvania, the foreign
attachment, and the domestic attachment. l. The foreign attachment is a mode
of proceeding by a creditor against the property of his debtor, when the
debtor is out of the jurisdiction of the state, and is not an inhabitant of
the same. The object of this process is in the first instance to compel an
appearance by the debtor, although his property may even eventually be made
liable to the amount of the plaintiff Is claim. It will be proper to
consider, 1. by whom it be issued; 2. against what property 3. mode of
proceeding. 1. The plaintiff must be a creditor of the defendant; the claim
of the plaintiff need not, however, be technically a debt, but it may be
such on which an action of assumpsit would lie but an attachment will not
lie for a demand which arises ex delicto; or when special bail would not be
regularly required. Serg. on Att. 51. 2. The writ of attachment may be
issued against the real and personal estate of any person not residing
within the commonwealth, and not being within the county in which such writ
may issue, at the time. of the issuing thereof. And proceedings may be had
against persons convicted of crime, and sentenced to imprisonment. 3. The
writ of attachment is in general terms, not specifying in the body of it the
name of the garnishee, or the property to be attached, but commanding the
officer to attach the defendant, by all and singular his goods and chattels,
in whose hands or possession soever the same may be found in his bailiwick,
so that he be and appear before the court at a certain time to answer, &c.
The foreign attachment is issued solely for the benefit of the plaintiff.
4.-2. The domestic attachment is issued by the court of common pleas
of the county in which any debtor, being an inhabitant of the commonwealth,
may reside; if such debtor shall have absconded from the place of his usual
abode within the same, or shall have remained absent from the commonwealth,
or shall have confined himself to his own house, or concealed himself
elsewhere, with a design, in either case, to defraud his creditors. It is
issued on an oath or affirmation, previously made by a creditor of such
person, or by some one on his behalf, of the truth of his debt, and of the
facts upon which the attachment may be founded. Any other creditor of such
person, upon affidavit of his debt as aforesaid, may suggest his name upon
the record, and thereupon such creditor may proceed to prosecute his said
writ, if the person suing the same shall refuse or neglect to proceed
thereon, or if he fail to establish his right to prosecute the same, as a
creditor of the defendant. The property attached is vested in trustees to be
appointed by the court, who are, after giving six months public notice of
their appointment, to distribute the assets attached among the creditors
under certain regulations prescribed by the act of assembly. Perishable
goods way be sold under an order of the court, both under a foreign and
domestic attachment. Vide Serg. on Attachments Whart. Dig. title Attachment.
5. By the code of practice of Louisiana, an attachment in the hands of
third person is declared to be a mandate which a creditor obtains from a
competent officer, commanding the seizure of any property, credit or right,
belonging to his debtor, in whatever hands they may be found, to satisfy the
demand which he intends to bring against him. A creditor may obtain such
attachment of the property of his debtor, in the following cases. 1. When
such debtor is about permanently leaving the state, without there being a
possibility, in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, of obtaining or
executing judgment against him previous to, his departure; or when such
debtor has already left the state never again to return. 2. When such debtor
resides out of the state. 3. When he conceals himself to avoid being cited
or forced to answer to the suit intended to be brought against him. Articles
239, 240.
6. By the local laws of some of the New England states, and
particularly of the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine,
personal property and real estate may be attached upon mesne process to
respond the exigency of the writ, and satisfy the judgment. In such cases it
is the common practice for the officer to bail the goods attached, to some
person, who is usually a friend of the debtor, upon an express or implied
agreement on his part, to have them forthcoming on demand, or in time to
respond the judgment, when the execution thereon shall be issued. Story on
Bailm. Sec. 124. As to the rights and duties of the officer or bailor in
such cases, and as to the rights and duties of the bailee, who is commonly
called the receiptor, see 2 Mass. 514; 9 Mass. 112 11 Mass. 211; 6 Johns. R.
195 9 Mass. 104, 265; 10 Mass. 125 15 Mass. 310; 1 Pick. R. 232, 389. See

ATA
AT Attachment
Integrated Drive Electronics
(ATA, AT Attachment or
"Integrated Drive Electronics", IDE) A disk drive interface
standard based on the IBM PC ISA 16-bit bus but also
used on other personal computers. ATA specifies the power
and data signal interfaces between the motherboard and the
integrated disk controller and drive. The ATA "bus" only
supports two devices - master and slave.
ATA drives may in fact use any physical interface the
manufacturer desires, so long as an embedded translator is
included with the proper ATA interface. ATA "controllers" are
actually direct connections to the ISA bus.
Originally called IDE, the ATA interface was invented by
Compaq around 1986, and was developed with the help of
Western Digital, Imprimis, and then-upstart {Conner
Peripherals}. Efforts to standardise the interface started in
1988; the first draft appeared in March 1989, and a finished
version was sent to ANSI group X3T10 (who named it "Advanced
Technology Attachment" (ATA)) for ratification in November
1990.
X3T10 later extended ATA to {Advanced Technology Attachment
Interface with Extensions} (ATA-2), followed by ATA-3 and
ATA-4.

standard from X3T10 (document 948D rev 3) which extends
the Advanced Technology Attachment interface while
maintaining compatibility with current IBM PC BIOS
designs.
ATA-2 provides for faster data rates, 32-bit transactions and
(in some drives) DMA. Optional support for power saving
modes and removable devices is also in the standard.
ATA-2 was developed by Western Digital as "Enhanced
Integrated Drive Electronics" (EIDE) around 1994.
Marketroids call it "Fast ATA" or "Fast ATA-2".
ATA-2 was followed by ATA-3 and ATA-4 ("Ultra DMA").

Power Mac computers had both an AAUI and RJ-45 port; you
can use one or the other, but not both.

ATTACHMENT
(bouvier) | ATTACHMENT, crim. law, practice. A writ requiring a sheriff to apprehend a
particular person, who has been guilty of. a contempt of court, and to bring
the offender before the court. Tidd's Pr. Index, h.t.; Grab. Pr. 555.
2. It may be awarded by the court upon a bare suggestion, though
generally an oath stating what contempt has been committed is required, or
on their own knowledge without indictment or information. An attachment may
be issued against officers of the court for disobedience or contempt of
their rules and orders, for disobedience of their process, and for
disturbing them in their lawful proceedings. Bac. Ab. h.t. A. in the nature
of a civil execution, and it was therefore held it could not be executed on
Sunday; 1 T. R. 266; Cowper, 394; Willes, R. 292, note (b); yet, in. one
case, it was decided, that it was so far criminal, that it could not be
granted in England on the affirmation of a Quaker. Stra. 441. See 5 Halst.
63; 1 Cowen, 121, note; Bac. Ab. h.t.
ATTACHMENT, remedies. A writ issued by a court of competent jurisdiction,
commanding the sheriff or other proper officer to seize any property;
credit, or right, belonging to the defendant, in whatever hands the same may
be found, to satisfy the demand which the plaintiff has against him.
2. This writ always issues before judgment, and is intended to compel
an appearance in this respect it differs from an execution. In some of the
states this process can be issued only against absconding debtors, or those
who conceal themselves; in others it is issued in the first instance, so
that the property attached may respond to the exigency of the writ, and
satisfy the judgment.
3. There are two kinds of attachment in Pennsylvania, the foreign
attachment, and the domestic attachment. l. The foreign attachment is a mode
of proceeding by a creditor against the property of his debtor, when the
debtor is out of the jurisdiction of the state, and is not an inhabitant of
the same. The object of this process is in the first instance to compel an
appearance by the debtor, although his property may even eventually be made
liable to the amount of the plaintiff Is claim. It will be proper to
consider, 1. by whom it be issued; 2. against what property 3. mode of
proceeding. 1. The plaintiff must be a creditor of the defendant; the claim
of the plaintiff need not, however, be technically a debt, but it may be
such on which an action of assumpsit would lie but an attachment will not
lie for a demand which arises ex delicto; or when special bail would not be
regularly required. Serg. on Att. 51. 2. The writ of attachment may be
issued against the real and personal estate of any person not residing
within the commonwealth, and not being within the county in which such writ
may issue, at the time. of the issuing thereof. And proceedings may be had
against persons convicted of crime, and sentenced to imprisonment. 3. The
writ of attachment is in general terms, not specifying in the body of it the
name of the garnishee, or the property to be attached, but commanding the
officer to attach the defendant, by all and singular his goods and chattels,
in whose hands or possession soever the same may be found in his bailiwick,
so that he be and appear before the court at a certain time to answer, &c.
The foreign attachment is issued solely for the benefit of the plaintiff.
4.-2. The domestic attachment is issued by the court of common pleas
of the county in which any debtor, being an inhabitant of the commonwealth,
may reside; if such debtor shall have absconded from the place of his usual
abode within the same, or shall have remained absent from the commonwealth,
or shall have confined himself to his own house, or concealed himself
elsewhere, with a design, in either case, to defraud his creditors. It is
issued on an oath or affirmation, previously made by a creditor of such
person, or by some one on his behalf, of the truth of his debt, and of the
facts upon which the attachment may be founded. Any other creditor of such
person, upon affidavit of his debt as aforesaid, may suggest his name upon
the record, and thereupon such creditor may proceed to prosecute his said
writ, if the person suing the same shall refuse or neglect to proceed
thereon, or if he fail to establish his right to prosecute the same, as a
creditor of the defendant. The property attached is vested in trustees to be
appointed by the court, who are, after giving six months public notice of
their appointment, to distribute the assets attached among the creditors
under certain regulations prescribed by the act of assembly. Perishable
goods way be sold under an order of the court, both under a foreign and
domestic attachment. Vide Serg. on Attachments Whart. Dig. title Attachment.
5. By the code of practice of Louisiana, an attachment in the hands of
third person is declared to be a mandate which a creditor obtains from a
competent officer, commanding the seizure of any property, credit or right,
belonging to his debtor, in whatever hands they may be found, to satisfy the
demand which he intends to bring against him. A creditor may obtain such
attachment of the property of his debtor, in the following cases. 1. When
such debtor is about permanently leaving the state, without there being a
possibility, in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, of obtaining or
executing judgment against him previous to, his departure; or when such
debtor has already left the state never again to return. 2. When such debtor
resides out of the state. 3. When he conceals himself to avoid being cited
or forced to answer to the suit intended to be brought against him. Articles
239, 240.
6. By the local laws of some of the New England states, and
particularly of the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine,
personal property and real estate may be attached upon mesne process to
respond the exigency of the writ, and satisfy the judgment. In such cases it
is the common practice for the officer to bail the goods attached, to some
person, who is usually a friend of the debtor, upon an express or implied
agreement on his part, to have them forthcoming on demand, or in time to
respond the judgment, when the execution thereon shall be issued. Story on
Bailm. Sec. 124. As to the rights and duties of the officer or bailor in
such cases, and as to the rights and duties of the bailee, who is commonly
called the receiptor, see 2 Mass. 514; 9 Mass. 112 11 Mass. 211; 6 Johns. R.
