Locke v. Butler ( 1869 )

By the court :

In order to attach property held by an officer under legal process, he must be proceeded against as a garnishee; and it is not sufficient, in order to bind the officer or the property, that he be merely notified by the officer holding the writ of attachment that he holds the same and by virtue of it attaches the property.

Judgment reversed, and judgment entered for plaintiff.
