TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART VI--PARTICULAR PROCEEDINGS
CHAPTER 173--ATTACHMENT IN POSTAL SUITS
Sec. 2716. Personal notice
After the first publication of the notice of attachment, a person
indebted to, or having possession of property of a defendant and having
knowledge of the notice, shall answer for the amount of his debt or the
value of the property. Any disposal or attempted disposal of the
property, to the injury of the United States, is unlawful. When the
person indebted to, or having possession of the property of a defendant,
is known to the United States attorney or marshal, the officer shall
cause a personal notice of the attachment to be served upon him, but the
lack of the notice does not invalidate the attachment.
(Added Pub. L. 86-682, Sec. 9, Sept. 2, 1960, 74 Stat. 707.)
Codification
Section was derived from R.S. Sec. 930, which was originally
classified to section 743 of former Title 28. Following the general
revision and enactment of Title 28 by act June 25, 1948, R.S. Sec. 930
was reclassified to section 843 of Title 39. R.S. Sec. 930 was repealed
by section 12(c) of Pub. L. 86-682 (section 1 of which revised and
enacted Title 39), and reenacted by section 9 thereof as section 2716 of
this title.
