1Opinion of the CourtHooker, J.

John Bommer was indebted to the plaintiff on a judgment recovered before a justice in 1883; and this judgment was sued in the circuit court, and a judgment was rendered there, October 13, 1894, for $505.41, damages and costs, on which date the defendant was garnished. Its disclosure stated that it was not indebted to Bommer, and that it had no property belonging to him in its possession or under its control; whereupon an issue was framed, and the question went to a jury, a verdict being found in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff has appealed from the judgment.
