Goulding v. Fenwick

Goulding v. Fenwick
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided October 15, 1822 · Thruston
2 D.C. 350; 10 F. Cas. 878; 2 Cranch 350
Goulding v. Fenwick

Opinion of the Court

The Court, (Thruston, J., absent,)

overruled both motions, being of opinion that this Court has no jurisdiction in the cause ; and that the law has provided no means of compelling the garnishee to pay the money.

The Court said that, perhaps, if the garnishee upon such notice, should voluntarily pay, he might plead such attachment and payment against his creditor, but' upon this point they did not mean to give an opinion.
