80 Ga. 570 | Ga. | 1888
It appears from the record that Abrahams sued out process of garnishment in a suit pending against Andrew Anderson, in the city court of Savannah, and caused summons of garnishment to be served upon the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia. Anderson dissolved the garnishment by giving bond. At the next term of the court, the Central Railroad and Banking Company answered that it was indebted to the defendant at the date of the service of the summons of garnishment $38.70, and had since become indebted to the defendant $328.91; which
“Andrew Anderson, junior, was at the time of the suing out of the garnishment process and is now employed at a salary of one hundred and twenty-five dollars per month, there being no time fixed for the termination of the contract of service, as private secretary and stenographer to the president of the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia, . . his duties being to receive by dictation and to transcribe for the president his letters, and such other papers and documents as he may desire; to take care of the papers and records of his office; travel with him as secretary when required; to receio and forward the president’s mail when left in the office in the absence of the president; and generally to perform the duties of an amanuensis, stenographer and private secretary, including the keeping of such hooks and statements as would generally he kept in the office of a president of a railroad company.”
The judge of the city court overruled the traverse, and decided that the salary of the defendant was exempt from garnishment; whereupon the plaintiff' excepted and assigned as error, (1) that the court erred in overruling the traverse; and (2)that the court erred in deciding that the salary of the defendant was exempt from process of garnishment.
Judgment affirmed.
