When the suggestion of error was tiled in this case there was filed simultaneously therewith this motion to modify the judgment of affirmance, heretofore rendered, so as to direct that execution he stayed until the case of W. O. Tatum v. Appellee, pending in the chancery court of Forrest county, should he finally determined, or until appellant shall have been discharged from the attachment and garnishment in the said suit of W. O. Tatum. We have no right to direct in this cause a stay of execution.
Overruled.

- 1. Appeal and Error. Affirmance. Stay of execution. The supreme court on affirming a judgment for plaintiff cannot stay execution thereon until defendant is discharged from attachment and garnishment proceedings against him in another suit pending in the chancery court in which plaintiff is the principal defendant. 2. Same. The affirmance in such case, however, and the overruling of a motion for stay of execution, does not necessarily mean that appellant as garnishee in the suit pending in the court below, could not hold the funds impounded in that suit until final adjudication.
