[Hillsborough,
    December, 1881.]
    Allen & a. v. Pickett & Tr. Colburn v. Crooker & Trs.
    
    Foreign Attachment. Issue between the plaintiff and claimant. The facts are substantially the same in both cases. The defendant, for a valuable consideration, gave to the claimant an order for his future wages, which was accepted by the trustee and recorded. After receiving the order, the claimant supplied the defendant with groceries and other necessaries, and also, upon several occasions, gave to him or to his wife small sums of money, for the purpose of buying necessaries elsewhere, and for purposes which did not appear. All the transactions were had in good faith, and with no intent to defraud or hinder the defendant’s creditors.
    
      J. H. Andrews and Gr. B. French, for the plaintiffs.
    
      W. W. Bailey and Barnes Twiss, for the claimants.
