When any real estate is attached, the town clerk in whose office the certificate of attachment is left shall record it at length in the land records of such town; and his fees for such service shall be paid to him by the plaintiff in the suit and be included and taxed with the officer's fees in such suit.
(1949 Rev., S. 556; February, 1965, P.A. 207.)
History: 1965 act required attachment to be recorded at length, removing option to record names of parties, amount of damages claimed and description of attached estate.
Failure of town clerk to record attachment does not invalidate it as against subsequent purchaser without actual notice. 109 C. 433.
