Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Garnishment: Embracing Substantive Principles, Procedure and Practice, and Garnishment as a Defense; Also Conflict of Laws, and Foreign and Domestic Exemption Statutes as Affecting or Affected by Garnishment Proceedings; Adapted to General Use Garnishment is the most modern, and at the same time the cheapest and most effectual, remedy known to the law. While it is more especially the small creditor's remedy, it is none the less adapted to use in more important cases, and our court reports abound with cases in which judgments for many thousands of dollars have been collected by this means. For one payment that is enforced by execution, attachment, or bill in chancery, twenty are collected by garnishment. Nevertheless, there is no published text book on the subject, unless we recognize the local works on trustee process; and it is only within very recent years that compilers of digests have collected any decisions under this head. It would be quite as logical to treat of executions in a work on attachment, or of attachment in a work on executions, as to treat of garnishment with either; for each is equally independent of the others. However, Mr. Freeman, in his work on Executions, and Judge Drake and others, in their works on Attachment, have devoted considerable space to a consideration of parts of the law of this subject, and to them the practicing lawyer is indebted for all the law of garnishment he has heretofore been able to learn from text writers. Fully half the adjudicated law of garnishment has never been touched upon by any text writer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
