ATTACHMENT out of the Chancery, is obtained upon an affidavit made, that the defendant was served with a subpoena, and made no appearance; or it issues upon not performing some order or decree. Upon the return of this attachment by the sheriff, quod non est inventus in balliva sua, another attachment, with a proclamation, issues; and if he still refuses to appear, a commission of rebellion.
