42-9-23: [When court acquires jurisdiction; survival of action.]

From the time of the issuing of the order of attachment, the court shall be deemed to have acquired jurisdiction, and to have control of all subsequent proceedings in relation thereto; and if after the issuing of the order, the defendant being a person, should die, or a corporation, and its charter should expire by limitation, forfeiture or otherwise, the proceedings, shall be carried on, but in all such cases other than where the defendant was a foreign corporation, his legal representatives shall be made parties to the action.
