    Sulter vs. Brooks et al.
    
    1. Where five garnishees, under proceedings against the same defendant, each answered that he owed the defendant nothing, and each prayed to be allowed five dollars as expenses of making the answer, and a joint judgment was rendered in their favor against the plaintiff for twenty-five dollars, and he thereupon excepted, the ■ writ of error will not be dismissed on the ground that the case of' each garnishee was separate, and should have been brought up by ■ a separate writ of error.
    2. If a garnishee truly answers that he owes the defendant nothing, and if he had incurred any expenses in making such answer, the ■ amount so incurred shall be taxed in the bill of costs under the approval of the court, and shall be paid by the party cast in the suit, as other costs are now paid. .A judgment is necessary to approve it; and where, in such a case, the expenses. of answering ■ were fully proved, and no contesting testimony was offered, a judgment for the amount so proved was proper. 53 Ga., 28; Code,. §3549.
    Judgment affirmed.
