53 Ark. 71 | Ark. | 1890
A creditor, who attempts to evade the exemption laws of his State by resort to attachment proceedings in the cdurt of another State against the property of a debtor who is a resident of the State of the creditor’s domicile, may be enjoined by the courts of the latter State from prosecuting his suit in the foreign jurisdiction. Cole v. Cunningham, 133 U. S., 107; Keyser v. Rice, 47 Md., 203; Snook v. Snetzer, 25 Ohio St., 516; Wilson v. Joseph, 107 Ind., 490; Hager v. Adams, 70 Iowa, 746.
The appellant’s complaint contained no allegation that the Texas court was without jurisdiction to attach and condemn the debt. It admits the jurisdiction of the court and seeks to avoid the effect of the judgment upon other grounds. But the jurisdiction to seize and condemn the debt being admitted, no ground for recovery is shown.
Affirm.
