Gen. No. 22,853.

(Not to he reported in full.)

Abstract of the Decision.

1. Garnishment—when garnishee is not entitled to retain funds. In an- action to recover money which the defendant had retained pending the decision of an attachment action against the plaintiff, in which the defendant was garnished, where the attachment was quashed and an order was entered discharging the garnishee, and although a certified copy of such order was served on the defendant, and the money demanded, he refused to turn it over, and, *301after such refusal, a writ of error was sued out in the attachment action, but it did not appear that the defendant was ever made a party to the supersedeas or that he ever received formal notice thereof, or that the writ was filed in the Municipal Court clerk’s office, and defendant claimed that as the suit in question was begun after the said writ of error was sued out, the writ might be pleaded in abatement, held that, after the defendant had been discharged as garnishee and demand had been made upon him to return the money, he had no right to retain the funds in the expectation that the defeated party in the original case might sue out a writ of error.

Mr. Presiding Justice McSurely

delivered the opinion of the court.

*3012. Garnishment—when garnishee is not entitled to retain money pending writ of error. A garnishee in an attachment action has no right after the attachment has been quashed, and an order discharging him as garnishee has been entered, to retain the money during the pendency of a writ of error where no supersedeas was allowed, and he was not a party to the writ of error, and no notice of its issuance had been served upon him, and the writ was never filed with the clerk of the court to which such writ issued.

3. Appeal and error, § 710 * —what is effect of supersedeas. A supersedeas suspends the efficacy of a judgment, but does not, like reversal, annul the judgment.
