Myers v. Bernstein.
    Argued June 23,
    Decided July 10, 1897.
    Garnishment and claim. Before Judge Cobb. City court of Athens. August term, 1896.
    
      E. 8. Price and J. J. Strickland, for plaintiff.
    
      H. C. Tuck and G. G. Thomas, contra.
   Little, J.

1. Evidence showing that when a defendant in fi. fa. delivered cotton to a warehouseman, he directed it stored in the name of his wife and stated th.at it belonged to her, was, on the trial of an issue raised by a claim interposed by the wife after the cotton had been levied upon as the husband’s property, admissible as a declaration accompanying the act of delivery.

2. When this case was before this court at the March term, 1896, upon a • - -writ of error sued out to the-rulings in a former trial, it was held that the evidence did not warrant a verdict finding the property subject. 99 Ga. 90. Substantially the case isthe same as before; the addition to the plaintiff’s evidence found in the record is not sufficient to require a different ruling, and the court therefore committed no error in directing a verdict for the claimant. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
