Pioneer Co-operative Co. v. Eagle & Phœnix Manufacturing Co.
Pioneer Co-operative Co. v. Eagle & Phœnix Manufacturing Co.
Opinion of the Court
This is a writ of error to the judgment of the superior court sustaining a certiorari.
Two points are made — one that the certiorari should have been dismissed because the treasurer of the corporation, describing himself as such, swears in the affidavit for the writ that “ I verily believe I have good cause for certiorari’,' and the other, because the superior court ruled wrong in holding that the- wages of a day laborer were exempt from garnishment.
It is insisted, however, that the act of 6th of December, 1880, repeals this exception by implication and makes all wages, without exception, liable to the process of garnishment. We do not think that the act of 6th of December, 1880, touches that exception; its scope on this subject was to open all indebtedness or effects coming into the garnishee’s hands between the date of summons and of answer, subject, just as they would have been subject if so subject before the time or at the time of this service.
Nor do we think that the constitutional point has any application, for the reason that the act of 1872 and the codification of it in §3554 are not intended or sought to be.repealed by the act of 1880.
We are quite clear, for these reasons, that the superior court was right in-sustaining the certiorari, and the judgment is affirmed.
