Syllabus

<p>GARNISHMENT-LIABILITY OF SHERIFFS-STATUTES-REPEAL.</p> <p>Laws 1885-86, p. 43, §19 (Bal. Code, § 5367), which, provides that a sheriff or constable may be garnished for money of the defendant in his hands, was not repealed by the later enactment on the subject of garnishments, when such subsequent act (Laws 1893, p. 95) contained no provision respecting the garnishment of public officers, and its repealing clause merely provided that “all acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act be and the same hereby are repealed.”</p>
