On Motion for Rehearing.
Since the original opinion, the garnishee, Oak Cliff Bank & Trust Company, has caused the record to this court to be amended, showing its answer to the writ of garnishment served upon it and a re-plevin bond tendered by the defendant, D. A. Bradshaw, as principal, and M. L. Miller and D. M. Mortón, as sureties, which was approved and filed by the clerk of the court below.
By the terms of the statute, the defendant, D. A. Bradshaw, was authorized to replevy the funds garnished, by giving a bond with two or more good and sufficient sureties, to be approved by the officers who issued the writ of garnishment. On the approval and filing of the bond, such bond takes the place of the fund garnisheed. From that time, plaintiff’s cause of action is directed against the bondsmen. The funds, as stated in the original opinion, are subject to the garnishment, thus the judgment must go against the bondsmen and execution issued against them. The judgment of this court was against the garnishee. Therefore, in the view we *343take in the case, our conclusion is that the judgment in favor of appellant against the garnishee, Oak Cliff Bank & Trust Company, should be set aside; the judgment rendered should be against D. A. Bradshaw, as principal, and M. L. Miller and D. M. Morton, jointly and severally, as sureties, for the sum stated in the original opinion, and when collected should he credited to the judgment, as therein stated. Accordingly, our judgment is reformed; appellees' motion for rehearing is overruled.
Motion overruled.
