The garnishee answered. A trial was had; judgment was given for plaintiffs, Brown, Bierer & Cotteral, for $280.66 with interest and costs, and an order issued requiring the First National Bank, the garnishee, to pay the amount of the judgment into court.
A motion for a new trial was overruled; also a motion to vacate the order of garnishment. No further proceedings were had before Justice Payne.
Afterwards, on the sixteenth day of March, 3891, Simpson W. Day commenced his action against the First National Bank of Garden City, before J. P. Zimmerman, a justice of the peace of Finney County, Kansas, to recover the money ordered paid into court by Justice Payne to satisfy the judgment of Brown, Bierer & Cotteral.
Judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff, Day. The defendant Bank filed its petition in error in the District Court, the case was tried and judgment rendered for the defendant Bank, and the plaintiff, Simpson W. Day, brings the case here for review.
