Syllabus

<p>HONEY DEPOSITED AS BAIL — PRESUMPTION AS TO OWNERSHIP.</p> <p>Where moneys are deposited with a justice of the peace by another than defendant, as security for the appearance of defendant at the time set for his preliminary examination, the presumption arises that such moneys belong to the one so depositing them and not to the defendant.</p> <p>SAME — GARNISHMENT.</p> <p>A deposit of money in court, in the interest of a defendant charged with crime, and for the purpose of security for his subsequent appearance, does not become the property of the defendant so as to be subject to garnishment by his judgment creditor after its release as security, when the money so deposited in reality belonged to the party depositing it and not to the defendant.</p>
