• 76 Ill. 53

Syllabus

<p>1. Exemption—from, garnishment. The delivery of property in the hands of a garnishee to an officer, to be sold under execution against the owner, will not impair the rights of such owner in claiming the same as exempt from sale, but he may make such claim the same as though the property was taken from him.</p> <p>2. Same—money in the hands of garnishee exempt. Where a judgment debtor had no other property than such as was specifically exempt from levy and sale, but had less than $100 on deposit in a bank, which was sought to' be reached by garnishee process, it was held, that he might claim the same as exempt under the clause of the statute which exempts $100 worth of other property suited to his condition in life, to be selected by him, and on such selection that it could not be reached in the hands of the garnishee.</p>
