Emma Bates filed her libel for divorce against her husband, N. B. Bates, and pending said libel, temporary alimony was allowed her, which has. never been paid by plaintiff in error. A total divorce was granted the wife, and the children of the marriage awarded to her. She sued out summonses of garnishment, which were served upon divers persons. N. B. Bates appeared and claimed that the several amounts clue him froimthe garnishees were exempt from the operation of the garnishment laws, because they were due him for his daily, weekly and monthly wages as a school-teacher; that he was employed at nine cents per day for first-class pupils, fifteen cents for second-class pupils, and eighteen cents Der day for third-class pupils.
The-court held that the amounts due were subject to garnishment, and overruled the claim of plaintiff in érror.
Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed.
