Opinion

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.
