fiiver Edge Savings and Loan Association appeals from an order of the Law Division directing it, as garnishee, to turn over to plaintiff the sum of $8,895.34 plus interest, such funds being part of a savings account in the names of Charles and Maria Yella, judgment debtors of plaintiff.

Appellant argues that the levy under the writ of attachment was invalid because the passbook was not seized nor its negotiation enjoined. We cannot agree.

The levy was proper under B. B. 4:77-12, with particular reference to the (e) section of the rule. The passbook was not negotiable commercial paper, nor negotiable investment securities—-(c) and (d) of the same section.

Appellant argues also that since the passbook was in custodia legis it was not subject to levy. This may be so. However, the savings account itself was not in custodia legis but was a chose in action in which the Yellas had a subsisting interest. It was therefore subject to levy.

Affirmed.
