Syllabus

<p>Estate op Decedent. Claim against. Registration of. Section 2028, Code of 1880, applied.</p> <p>A right acquired by garnishment against a decedent in his lifetime, before judgment on such garnishment, is a mere liability of his estate, and not such a claim against the estate as is required to be registered under § 2028, Code of 1880, which provides that “all claims against the estate of a decedent” shall be barred unless registered within one year from date of notice. There is a distinction between “claims” and liabilities. All claims must be registered, under the statute referred to, but not all liabilities.</p>
