James M. Kane v. John W. Robertson. Jos. Hoy & Co., Campbell & Strong, Intervenors.
Robertson, tbe defendant, had drawn two drafts on T. H. & J. M. Allen & Co., made garnishees in this suit, who had verbally accepted the same, to be paid, as far as possible, out of tbe proceeds of the sale of Robertson’s cotton, then in their hands. This was a good acceptance, and the interveners in this caso, who are the holders of the accepted drafts, are entitled to have them paid out of the proceeds of said cotton.

Bentinelc Egan, for plaintiff and appellant. E. Boxocvrd' MeGaleb, for defendant and appellee. Breaux, Fenner & Ball, for intervenors.

Opinion:
Morgan, J.
We find the facts to be, that when the garnishees were-served with process, they had in their hands the proceeds of seventeen, bales of cotton, amounting, net, to $1600, and one bale of cotton, unsold, which, it is admitted, was worth $80. «
Robertson, the defendant, had drawn two drafts on T. H. & J. M. Allen & Co., the garnishees, one in favor of Joseph Hoy & Co. for $5 80, and one in favor of G-. S. Kendall, who had indorsed the same over to Campbell & Strong for $1020. These drafts had been presented to T. H. & J. M. Allen, who had verbally accepted the same, to be paid, as far as possible, out of the proceeds of the cotton. This was a good acceptance, and the proceeds of the cotton, it was properly held by the district judge, was to be paid over to the holders of the accepted drafts.
Judgment affirmed.
Rehearing refused.
