Mr. Justice Gary

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This case presents only the question, answered in the affirmative in Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. v. Scott (p. 92, this volume), whether a judgment creditor of two jointly, may garnish the debtor of one of them.

It is enough now to refer to that case for the reasons for which the judgment appealed from is affirmed.
