Syllabus

<p>Foreign attachment — Wages—Exemption—Waiver.</p> <p>The Act of April 15, 1845, P. L. 459, exempting wages from attachment, is a general law, and applies to foreign attachment. The exemption given by the act cannot be waived.</p> <p>While a general appearance in a foreign attachment precludes the defendant from afterward questioning the jurisdiction of the court to proceed in the action as if it had been commenced by summons duly served, it does not, of itself, deprive him of the right to have his wages or salary released from the lien, or pretended lien, of the attachment.</p>
