(1949 Rev., S. 8044; 1961, P.A. 517, S. 45; 1971, P.A. 39, S. 2; P.A. 75-567, S. 32, 80; P.A. 78-280, S. 2, 127.)
History: 1961 act substituted circuit court for justice of the peace; 1971 act amended form to include reference to dissolution of attachment by substitution of lien on other property of defendant; P.A. 75-567 deleted reference to court for the circuit or county as the case may be, circuit court functions having been transferred to other courts by P.A. 74-183; P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county” where appearing; (Revisor's note: In 2001 the reference in this section to the date “19..” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “20..” to reflect the new millennium).
