James A. Virtue, who by reason of a
jury's verdict obtained Judgment
against Mills, as a counter claim, for
1854. When informed of the garnish-
ment the attorney for Mills declared
that it would not hold, as Mills had
made an assignment to his wife. So

it will hold for the present, at least
until the attachment is released by
an order of the court.
