A decision was rendered one day
this week in case argued before
Judge Woodward, in which the NJ. l.
N. Co. was defendant, to the effect
that the receipts Of the Company are
mortgaged to the bond-hoIders and
cannot be garnsheed for claims against
1t. The case originated from a gal
nishee of money due the Company
from merchants OF this city on freight.
The Judge granted an injunction
against the garnishee, which causes
the case to be reverted to the District
Court, where its merits will be moi 9
fully investigated. The decision Of
Judge Woodward cannot be regarded
As an opinion, since the injunction was
granted more to give further time for
examination Of the case than to render
an opinion which shall stand as . pre-
cedent. The claim for which the
garnishee was made is judgment Of
$50 against the company for killing a
COW on the track. J. Scott Richman,
Esq, appeared as attorney for the
Company and D. c. Cloud and Jacob
Butler Esqs., for the opposite side.-
