On Motion for Rebearing.
Appellee bas filed and urges a motion for rebearing, insisting that we erred in considering tbe brief and assignments of error filed by appellant. We did not consider tbe assignments wbicb were objectionable under tbe authorities cited in appellee’s motion.
Tbe second ground urged in tbe motion is that we erred in bolding that tbe writ of garnishment issued against E. W. Harrison was prematurely issued. We have again reviewed the authorities and believe that our bolding is correct.
Tbe appellee finally insists that we erred in deciding in effect that a garnishment held only such sums as were due from tbe garnishee at tbe time the writ was served. If we had made any such bolding, appellee would be correct, but we did not bold it, and there is nothing in tbe opinion which we think can be construed as announcing any such doctrine. In fact, that question does not arise in tbe case.
Appellee insists that our opinion, as they construe it, settles tbe case, and unless we are willing to affirm tbe judgment, that it should be reversed and rendered instead of remanded, and that to reverse tbe ease means a delay of six months and possibly the expense of another appeal before final judgment can be entered. We reversed tbe case, thinking appellee might upon another trial strengthen their cas'e, wbicb a rendition of tbe judgment in this court would deprive them of.
After duly considering tbe motion, we have decided to reverse and render tbe judgment for tbe appellants, and it is so ordered.
