In that case the garnishment proceedings was in a domestic court, but knowledge thereof was fraudulently kept from the debtor. In O'Connor v. Walter, 37 Neb. 267, 55 N.W. 867, 23 L. R. A. 650, 40 Am. St. Rep. 486, it was held that where the creditor, by means of an assignment of his claim to a resident of another state, procured the collection of the wages of the debtor by means of a garnishment in the other state, he was liable to the debtor for the amount so collected. The same rule was laid down in Bishop v. Middleton, 43 Neb. 10, 61 N.W. 129, 26 L. R. A. 445. It is true these decisions were based on a statute which, in effect, gave a right of action against the creditor under such circumstances, but the statute was only declaratory of the policy of the state on the subject. It is believed that the policy of this state favors the fullest protection for exemptions. Kestler v. Kern, 2 Ind. App. 488, 28 N.E. 726, also holds that the debtor has a cause of action against the creditor under the same circumstances as exist in the present case.
