lected by proceedings in attachment in courts or before justices
of the peace outside of this State, or to send out of this State

or without value, any claim or debt against any resident
thereof for the purpose or with the intent to deprive such per-
son of the right to have his personal earnings or property
exempt from application to the payment of his debts, accord-
ing to the provisions of this code, where the creditor and
debtor and the person or corporation owing the money intended
to be reached by such proceedings are within the jurisdiction

person sending, assigning or transferring any such claim for
the purpose or with the intent aforesaid shall be liable in an

State upon any process of execution issued upon any judgment
recovered in any such action.

evade the provisions of this code exempting the property and
wages of debtors from execution.
