• 46 Ill. 293

Syllabus

<p>1. Garnishees—rights of garnishee—fraud. It would be a fraud upon creditors to permit a debtor to place his property beyond their reach, by depositing it with an attorney to beheld nominally for future services, to be rendered in whatever litigation the debtor might be engaged.</p> <p>2. Answer of garnishee. Where a garnishee charges himself with a sum of money, against which he claims a set-off, he must show to what extent, or state the facts from which the court can determine the amount.</p> <p>3. Where the answer of a garnishee is vague and evasive, the court will construe it most strongly against him.</p>
