Dennis W. Moran, App’lt, v. John Darcy, Resp’t.
    N. Y. C. C.,
    December 17, 1894.
    
      James Kearney, for app’lt; Max Bayersdorfer, for resp’t.
   Fitzsimons, J.

The order appealed from must be affirmed. The moneys in question must be deemed the personal earnings of the judgment debtor, although, in earning it, he was aided by others. He superintended the work, and performed all the-labor that he could reasonably do, considering his state of health, so that liis aid and services very materially contributed to the earnings of the sum in dispute. The facts and circumstances of this can justify us in this case in determining that the said sum of money is the earnings of defendant for his personal service, and therefore is exempt from levy. Order affirmed, with costs.
