— There can be no doubt that the debtor of a corporation might be garnisheed by the law as it stood previous to the passage of the act of 1841, for the more speedy collection of debts against corporations, after a judgment obtained against it, and the proper affidavit being made. The design of the act of 1841, was to subject the'stockholders of a corporation to process of garnishment for the amount of stock subscribed by them and unpaid.
. It appears by the return to the certiorari that a judgment, such as is described in the affidavit, was obtained by the defendant in error against the corporation, the j udgment of the Court therefore against the garnishee must be affirmed.
