When no bill of exceptions is filed it cannot be urged that a final judgment against the garnishee is unwarranted because there is in the record no recital of evidence or finding of the judgment against the nominal plaintiff in favor of the beneficial plaintiff. In the absence of anything answering to a bill of exceptions it cannot be presumed that no evidence of such judgment as recited in the scire facias was given before the court.\n5. Garnishment, \u00a7 32 \u2014when injunction against payment of funds to judgment debtor no defense to garnishee. In a suit in garnishment to recover money deposited with the garnishee by the judgment debtor, the fact that Circuit Court had issued an injunction against the payment by the garnishee to the judgment debtor in favor of his wife in divorce proceedings, held no defense to the garnishee against the rights of the judgment creditor.\n6.

    "head_matter": "James A. McInerney, Plaintiff in Error, for use of J. W. Williamson and Mary Williamson, Defendants in Error, v. Andrew J. Graham, Defendant in Error.\nGen. No. 18,592.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon, Edward A. Dicker, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1912.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed March 9, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nGarnishment proceeding in the Municipal Court by James A. Mclnerney for the use of J. W. Williamson and Mary Williamson against Andrew J. Graham, doing business as Graham & Son, as garnishee. An affidavit was filed by J. W. Williamson alleging that a judgment was rendered in the Municipal Court against Mclnerney in favor of the Williamsons; that an execution had been issued and returned unsatisfied, and that the garnishee was indebted to the judgment debtor Mclnerney. A final judgment was entered against the garnishee for $452.70. To reverse the judgment, Mclnerney sues out a writ of error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Garnishment, \u00a7 118 \u2014when objection for defects in affidavit cannot be urged on review. Objections to an affidavit for garnishment that the jurat shows an omission of the concluding figure of the date and also an omission to give the official designation of the officer before whom the affidavit was sworn, that a wrong initial is used in the name of the bailiff who returned the execution, and that there is discrepancy of seventy-five cents in stating the amount of the debt, cannot be urged where ail the parties at one stage or another of the subsequent proceedings were before the court and no objection was made in the court below that the affidavit was insufficient or not properly sworn to.\n2. Garnishment, \u00a7 72 \u2014when appearance by garnishee waives irregularities in process. Appearance by garnishee to a scire facias on a conditional judgment waives any preceding irregularities in the process by which he was brought before the court.\n3. Garnishment, \u00a7 116 \u2014when invalidity of service of process and irregularities in conditional judgment do not render final judgment erroneous. Invalidity of service on garnishee on which a conditional judgment against him is found, and irregularities in the recitals of the conditional judgment, cannot be urged as a ground that the final judgment against him is erroneous, where he appeared and made answer to the scire facias after proper service of a summons upon him to show cause why a final judgment should be entered against him.\nGeorge H. Sugrue and Jesse Wilcox, for plaintiff in error.\nCharles L. Mahony and John C. DeWolee, for defendants in error J. W. Williamson and Mary Williamson ; Hogan & Hogan, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, same topic and section number."
