Kerrigan, J.
This is an appeal from an order declaring exempt from execution a proportion of a certain fund, consisting of salary of the defendant as justice of the peace, earned within thirty days prior to attachment. The order also directed that the said proportion of said fund be paid over to the defendant. The appeal is taken by the plaintiff.
Though coming here upon a separate transcript, the appeal was argued with and submitted upon the same briefs as case numbered 935 in this court, bearing the same title, and in which we have this day affirmed the order of the trial court (ante, p. 496).
The fund, with reference to which the order appealed from in this case was made, is in the same situation as in said case numbered 935, and the order was made under the same circumstances, except that this is the first order made in regard to the fund involved in this appeal, and that the evidence produced in support of defendant’s claim of exemption showed not only that he contributed to the support of his dependent mother, residing in this state, but that he had again married and was living with such wife—thus showing that he undoubtedly came within the exemption of the statute.
