Walker v. Zorn

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided January 15, 1876PublishedCited by 3 opinions

Ejectment. Garnishment. Before Judge Buchanan. Upson Superior Court. May Term, 1875. Report unnecessary.

1Opinion of the Court

Bleckley, Judge.

The count for mesne profits, in an action of ejectment, is a claim for money, and when such an action is pending we see no reason for denying the plaintiff the remedy of garnishment. The Code seems broad enough to embrace all money demands, whether resting on tort or on contract: Code, sections 3532, 3533, 3278.

Judgment affirmed.
