Plaintife claimed $19.98, with interest ‘and costs, The defenso was that no| copy of ,the assignment had been} served on the defendant, and that at the time of receiving notice of the ar- e@lgnment the defendant was in no way indebted to the assignor. Justice Williams, in discussing the complaint, said: “I am of the opinion that chapter 7 of tho laws of 10/ wag intended t cover all cases whero money is ad-| vanced or loaned on account of aalary | j or wages earned or to be earned by an employee, “The purpose of the act ts to protect | the employer. It !s quite clear that the overcoming of euch a statute was the borrower should have some friend pledge his salary as security, they, the borrower, and pledgee, adjusting the|§ matter between them and in a manner not apparently at least involving tho londer. “As heretofore stated, the act was tn- tended for the protection of eanployers against persons conducting euch a hus!- ness as the plaintiff's assignor, and would largely fail of St purpose ff Lt does not cover the situation here. “The motion to dismiss will be granted,’ Decision a Surprise.
