Smith v. Walker & Izlar

Opinion of the Court

Tdbnek, J.

This case is controlled by the decision of this court in Sanner v. Shivers, 76 Ga. 335, wherein it was held that the “ monthly wages of a locomotive engineer in the employment of a railroad corporation are not subject to the process of garnishment in this State.” As a finding in favor of the prevailing party below was demanded by the evidence, the trial court erred in setting aside the verdict of the jury.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur, except Simmons, C. J., absent.
