In the Matter of the Examination of CLAUDIUS EDLUNDS, a Judgment Debtor, in Proceedings Supplementary to Execution.
    
      Judgment debtor — when a watch is exempt from seizure, as being a tool amd implement necessa/ry for the debtor’s occupation.
    
    Appeal from an order, made at chambers, denying a motion for the appointment of a receiver in proceedings supplementary to execution.
    The court at General Term said: “The examination of the defendant disclosed no property, except a cheap watch and chain and a trunk and some clothing. The judgment debtor is a clothing cutter and an unmarried man, but certainly he is entitled to all tools and implements necessary for his occupation, of which a-watch may well be one. There was nothing to receive and no ocear sion for a receiver. The order should be affirmed, with, costs and ■disbursements.”

      McGuire & Kuhn, for judgment debtor, respondent.
