A firm of lawyers in New-York have sent me a money bond, of $2000 for collection. Both the parties to the bond reside in NewYork,
but the obligor has a farm of 330 acres, within about a mile of Rushville in Schuyler county, out of which, by an attachment suit, the obligee wishes collection to be made.
