LW EXER 1

The appellant complains that the trial court made a mistake in ruling that the attorney-

at-law, representing a loan association in the distribution of the amount of money of a loan to

be made by the association, can refuse to answer questions concerning such distribution on

the ground that if he answers such questions he would be revealing a confidential

communication to his client; and that the trial court made a mistake in ruling that a garnishee,

a third party who holds money or property that belongs to the debtor subject to an attachment

proceeding by the creditor, ordered by the court to appear for examination as to his

indebtedness or the state of being in debt to the judgment debtor was the witness of the

judgment creditor and could not be called for cross-examination by the latter.
