Plain-English Summary

A subsequent attachment on already-attached property follows the same three rules as the first one, adjusted for the earlier claim. Real property is attached using the same method prescribed for attaching real property in general. Personal property is attached as property already in an officer's hands, subject to whatever attachment came before it. And where the same person or corporation is made a garnishee again, the officer leaves him a copy of the new order and notice, the same way the first garnishment notice was served.
