Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, RUSSELL, Circuit Judge, and BLAIR, District Judge.
For reasons sufficiently appearing in the opinion of the District Judge, 347 F. Supp. 1221, we conclude that under Virginia law an appropriation of funds by the City of Richmond for the operation of its jails and Office of City Sergeant did not create an ordinary debt subject to garnishment.
Affirmed.
