</div>&nbsp;I
find from the evidence before me that the Claimant applied to the Lands
Commission and was allocated plot number 75, a piece of land situate at
Cantonments, Accra.&nbsp; Subsequently the
number of the plot was changed from number 75 to number 5, 3rd
circular road Cantonments residential area.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I
also find that the Lands Commission executed a lease Exhibit A in favour of the
witness.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Again,
from the evidence, the size of the land was originally 0.36 of an acre and this
was later on changed to 0.40 of an acre.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I
find that the Claimant has made payments in respect of the allocation.&nbsp; Exhibit D is a testimony to this fact.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I am
satisfied from the totality of the evidence on record that the land in question
is the personal property of the Claimant and not the A.M.A.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Hence
it cannot be attached in execution of judgment against the A.M.A. by the
plaintiff herein.&nbsp; I accordingly order
that the said property be discharged from attachment.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;There
will be no order as to costs.<o:p></o:p>
