Enrolled Act No. 26 of the Senate.
AN ACT to authorize the process of garnishment against Clerks of the Circuit and Common Pleas Court, Sheriff, Justices of the Peace, Constables, and other officers who collect money by virtue of their office, and executors, administrators, guardians and trustees.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That Clerks of the Circuit and Common Pleas Courts, Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, Constables, and all other officers who may collect money by virtue of their office, and all executors, administrators, guardians and trustees, shall be subject to be garnisheed at the suit of any attachment creditor of the person who has money, or choses in action in the hands of such officer, executor, administrator, guardian or trustee, at the time of the service of such garnishee process, in the same manner and to the same extent as other persons are liable to be garnisheed in attachment proceedings.
SEC. 2. There being no law in force by which money or choses in action in the hands of such officers and persons can be readied, there is an emergency existing for the immediate taking effect of this act, therefore this act shall be in force from and after its passage.
