182 COURTS. [ART. XXVI
20.*
This section expressly authorizes more than one attachment on judg-
ment or decree; hence if a sheriff's return is defective, another attach-
ment should be issued and the company properly served. See notes to
article 23, section 87. Sharpless Separator Co. v. Brilhart, 129 Md. 92.
See notes to section 19.
23.+
30.
Condemnation proceedings may be abandoned. This section is not incon-
sistent with and is not repealed by the act of 1912, chapter 117 (see article
33A). The contention that this section makes it mandatory upon the
court when it directs the entering of a judgment after the assessment of
damages, overruled. Pitsnogle v. W. Md. Rwy. Co., 123 Md. 672.
