286 ARTICLE 9.
$2,000 to. the company, the $2,000 in bank then belongs to the agent, and may
be condemned in the attachment. First National Bank v. Jaggers, 31 Md. 50.
Where H. is indebted to B., both H. and B. residing in North Carolina, and B.
is indebted to E., a resident of Maryland, an attachment, may be laid by E. in the
hands of H. while he is temporarily in Maryland, and the garnishment binds H's.
indebtedness to B. Full faith and credit must be given such judgment .by the
courts of North Carolina when it is pleaded by H. in a suit against him by B. in
the latter state. Temporary presence of a garnishee in a state gives a court of that
state jurisdiction to render judgment in the garnishment proceedings upon per-
sonal service within the state, if during such temporary presence in the state the
principal debtor could have sued the garnishee there. Duty of the garnishee to
notify the defendant. Harris v. Balk, 198 U.. S. 215.

liable to attachment. Himmel v. Eichengreen, 107 Md. 610.

College v. Baltimore, etc., Co., 43 Md. 438.
