JONES v. HART & BOSWORTH.
    1. A judgment against a Garnishee, who has not answered, cannot be sustained when the record does not show, either that the Garnishee was summoned, that judgment nisi, was rendered against him, or a sci. fa. made known; nor any other proceeding equivalent to a service.
    Writ of Error to the Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County.
    BufoRD, for the plaintiff in error.
    No counsel appeared for the defendant.
   GOLDTHWAITE, J.

— The proceedings in this case, as they appear in the transcript, returned with the writ of error, are exceedingly defective. The judgment is rendered against a garnishee, and there is neither summons, judgment nisi, sci. fa., or any other' matter equivalent to a service, shewn by the record. The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
