Ceriorari, from Fulton. Garnishment. Laborers. Railroads. Words and Phrases. (Before Judge Clarke.)
Thomas Finley, for plaintiff in error.
B. J. Jordan, for defendant.

Opinion:
Blandford, J.
The monthly wages of a locomotive engineer in the-employment of a railroad corporation are not subject to the process of garnishment in this state, although his wages exceed the sum of five hundred dollars per annum. Such an employe is a day laborer and not an officer of the corporation. Code, §3554.
Judgment affirmed.
