The issue in this case was whether Gottlieb Hartwig, garnishee defendant, was indebted to William Bick-ler, defendant in the principal action, at the time of the service of the garnishee process. The appellant demanded a jury trial, and, while the court held that the issue was not for trial by a jury as a matter of right, he submitted the same to a jury as in an equitable action, stating that their verdict would be deemed advisory only. To this appellant excepted.
The following questions were submitted: “(1) Was Gott-lieb Hcurtwig, the garnishee in this case, on March 31, 1894, the time of the service herein of the garnishee summons, indebted to said William Bickler? (2) If you answer the foregoing question ‘Tes,’ what was the amount of such indebtedness?” The jury answered the first question, “Yes; ” and the second, “ Sixty-five dollars ($65).” Appellant asked the submission of several other questions, which was refused and exception taken.
Fourteen errors are assigned and all have been considered, but only such will be referred to here as are urged in the printed argument.
The record appears to be free from error, and it follows-that the judgment appealed from should be affirmed.
By the Qowrt.— Judgment affirmed.
