Form 238.-Affidavit.

FOR EXAMINATION OF JUDGMENT-DEBTOR, SUPPLEMENTAL TO RETURN OF EXECUTION UNSATISFIED.

[BANCROFT'S BLANK, No. 539.]

In the District Court of the First Judicial District of the State of Nevada, in and for the County of Storey.

State of Nevada, County of Storey, ss.

Wal. J. Tuska, being duly sworn, says that he is the attorney for the plaintiff in the above-entitled action; that the said plaintiff, on or about the tenth day of December, A. D. 1879, recovered a judgment in said action in the District Court of the First Judicial District of the State of Nevada, in and for the County of Storey, against the defendant in said action, for seven hundred and ninety-one dollars or thereabouts, for damages and costs, which judgment was duly entered and docketed in the office of the Clerk of said Court, in the said County of Storey, being the county where said defendant then resided and in which the judgment-roll in said action is filed, to be executed according to law; that an execution issued by virtue of said judgment was placed in the hands of the Sheriff of said County and has been returned unsatisfied: that the said judgment still remains in full force and effect, and is wholly unsatisfied, and not reversed, vacated, or set aside.

That, as affiant is informed and verily believes, the said defendant now resides in Storey County and has property, which he unjustly refuses to apply towards the payment or satisfaction of said judgment, and that he endeavors to conceal the same.

Subscribed and sworn to before me, this

thirteenth day of February, 1880.
