HARTLEY against SHEMWELL.

MARPLES against HARTLEY.

H. recovered judgment in an action against S., and issued a writ of fi. fa., under which S.'s goods were seized. On an interpleader issue between H. and M., who claimed the goods of S. which were so seized, M. had a verdict, and obtained an order for his costs, which were taxed. H. issued a writ of ca. sa. against S., who was arrested. M. obtained a Judge's order, under sect. 61 of The Common Law Procedure Act, 1854, 17 & 18 Vict. c. 125., to attach the debt due from S. to H.; and the amount was allowed in account between M. and H. S. having obtained an order to be discharged out of custody in the action of H. v. S.: Held, that M. was a judgment creditor of H. within the meaning of sect. 61.: and that the arrest of S., the garnishee, did not extinguish his debt to H., or bar M.'s right to attach it under that section.

IN the first of these two actions, which was for goods sold and delivered, the plaintiff Hartley, on 30th E. B. & S.

June, 1860, signed judgment by default for 271. 5s. A
writ of fi. fa. was issued on that judgment; and, on 3d
July, 1860, certain goods of the defendant Shemwell
were seized in execution. At the time of the seizure
the sheriff received notice from one William Marples of
a claim to the goods. An interpleader summons was
obtained on behalf of the sheriff; and Wightman J., on
the hearing, directed an interpleader issue, Marples v.
Hartley. This issue was tried, and a verdict found for
the plaintiff. On 14th February, 1861, the plaintiff
Marples obtained an order for the costs of the trial of
this issue, which were taxed and amounted to 67%. 1s. 6d.
On 28th February, 1861, the plaintiff Hartley issued a
writ of ca. sa. against Shemwell, who, on 2d March,
1861, was arrested. On 15th March, 1861, Marples
obtained an order of Bramwell B., under The Com-
mon Law Procedure Act, 1854, (17 & 18 Vict. c. 125.),
s. 61., to attach the debt of 271. 5s. (which, with costs,
amounted to 301. 5s.) due from Shemwell to Hartley.
On 16th March, 1861, Bramwell B. made an order, under
the same section, directing that Shemwell, the garnishee,
should pay to Marples, the claimant, the sum of 301. 5s.
due from the garnishee to Hartley, the plaintiff in Hartley
v. Shemwell, in part payment of the 677. 1s. 6d., the costs
of the interpleader issue, due from Hartley to Marples.
On 19th March, 1861, Shemwell obtained a summons
calling upon Hartley and Marples to shew cause why
Shemwell should not be discharged out of custody, as
to the action of Hartley v. Shemwell, the sum of 30%. 5s.
(being the amount of debt and costs in that action)
having been paid by the defendant, as a garnishee, to
Marples, under the above orders. On the hearing of
this summons, Bramwell B., on 20th March, 1861, made

an order that, on payment of the sum of 17. 6s., the plaintiff's costs of execution in the action of Hartley v. Shemwell, to the plaintiff in that action, or to the sheriff on his behalf, the defendant Shemwell be discharged out of custody as to that action. Shemwell was accordingly HARTLEY. discharged out of custody. The sum of 307. 5s. was not actually paid but Marples had given credit to Hartley for that sum against the 677. 1s. 6d., the costs of the interpleader issue.

Field now moved for a rule calling upon Marples and Shemwell to shew cause why the three orders of Bramwell B., dated respectively 15th, 16th and 20th March, 1861, should not be rescinded, all proceedings thereunder set aside, and Hartley be at liberty to issue a new writ of ca. sa., and arrest Shemwell for the amount of the judgment debt. The Common Law Procedure Act, 1854, 17 & 18 Vict. c. 125. s. 61., provides that "it shall be lawful for a Judge, upon the ex parte application of such judgment creditor either before or after" "oral examination, and upon affidavit by himself or his attorney, stating that judgment has been recovered, and that it is still unsatisfied, and to what amount, and that any other person is indebted to the judgment debtor, and is within the jurisdiction, to order that all debts owing or accruing from such third person to the judgment debtor shall be attached to answer the judgment debt." In order, therefore, to entitle Marples to an order for an attachment under this section, it is necessary for him to establish, first, that he is a judgment creditor of Hartley, and, secondly, that there is another person indebted to Hartley. Now Marples is not a judgment creditor of Hartley within
