made on the back of any execution issued on said judgment; provided,
however, that if such waiver shall be made as above stated and said
entry shall be omitted, such defendant shall be estopped from demand-

sufficient reasons, shall enter among the docket entries of the case

ment in courts [or before justices of the peace] outside of this State,
or to send out of this State by assignment, transfer or other manner
whatsoever, either for or without value, any claim or debt against
any resident thereof for the purpose or with the intent to deprive

person or corporation owing the money intended to be reached by such
proceedings are within the jurisdiction of the courts [or justices of
the peace] of this State; and the person sending, assigning or trans-
ferring any such claim for the purpose or with the intent aforesaid
