South Highlands Infirmary v. Imperial Laundry Co.

Court of Appeals of Alabama
Jun 6, 1933
149 So. 106 (Ala. Crim. App. 1933)

Opinion

6 Div. 264.

April 18, 1933. Rehearing Denied June 6, 1933.

Appeal from Jefferson County Court of Common Claims; E. N. Hamill, Judge.

Garnishment suit by the South Highlands Infirmary against E. H. Maddox, defendant, Imperial Laundry Company, garnishee. From a judgment discharging the garnishee, plaintiff appeals.

Affirmed.

Certiorari denied by Supreme Court, 149 So. 107.

W. Emmett Perry and Caesar Powell, both of Birmingham, for appellant.

Amzi G. Barber, of Birmingham, for appellee.

In view of the decision, it is not necessary that briefs be set out.


Appellant, alleging, etc., that it held a judgment in which there was no waiver, etc., of exemptions, etc., against one E. H. Maddox, procured a writ of garnishment to be issued and served on appellee, etc. Code 1923, c. 298.

No notice of this writ of garnishment was ever served upon the defendant E. H. Maddox (Code 1923, § 8056), who is shown to have been a resident of the state at the time of the issuance and service of said garnishment writ, and, for aught appearing, presumably, ever since (22 C. J. 86).

Because of the failure to serve notice upon said defendant, the judgment of the lower court in favor of garnishee appellee must be affirmed, regardless of the legal merit, vel non, of the contentions advanced by the respective parties to this appeal. Hurt et al. v. Knox, 220 Ala. 448, 126 So. 110. And it is so ordered.

Affirmed.
