89 N.Y.S. 1019 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1904
The judgment upon which the execution was issued was recovered January 14, 1903. The judgment debtor contends that as the amendment to the Code authorizing the execution against his wages did not take effect until1 September 1, 1903, it does not apply to the judgment recovered against him. I do not think this contention should be sustained. Prima facie the wages of a judgment debtor would be liable to levy under an execution. Dains v. Prosser, 32 Barb. 290. This amendment to section 1391 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides a mode of legal procedure-by which a judgment may be collected out of wages of the-judgment debtor by special form of execution, and limits the scope of the remedy of the judgment creditor through that process. The statute does not take away nor impair any vested right of the judgment debtor. The operation of the
Motion denied, with ten dollars costs.
