portant case, was disposed of yesterday.
The court constituting paragraph section
Of chapter 80, of compiled laws of 1886
Section provides that for the wages OF
any clerk, mechanic, laborer or servant nc
personal property of any kind is exempt
from attachment or execution" The
court holds under this statute that the as
signee has all the rights of the assignor,
and that under Il Judgment obtained by
the assignee based upon a claim for wages,
no personal property is exempt.
Justice Walker held that such claims
did not invest the assignee with all the
rights of the assignor. The district court
reverses that ruling. 1t is case of great
Importance to laboring men and this rul-
ing of the district court will be of great
benefit to them. The question has never
been passed upon by the supreme court OF
this state or any appellate court. 1t is
wholly new.
