¶1OPINION
¶2The Municipal Court of Cincinnati sustained a motion to discharge an attachment under which $300.00 was garnisheed in the hands of Grand Lodge of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers and Station Employees.
¶3In the affidavit in attachment, it was averred that the property sought to be attached was not exempt from execution.
¶4The motion to discharge the attachment alleged the fund was exempt from attachment, and §9482 GC, was cited in support of the allegation.
¶5The entry sustaining the motion recited that “Said motion was presented to the court on arguments of counsel and thereafter on briefs of counsel submitted to the court, and the court, being advised in the premises, finds that said motion is well taken.”
¶6The Common Pleas Court affirmed the Municipal Court and the cause is now before this court on appeal from that affirmance.
¶7No affidavits were filed in support of the motion to discharge the attachment, and we are not advised through the medium of a bill of exceptions as to what took place at the hearing of the motion.
¶8If the answer of the garnishee could be considered we would conclude that it discloses nothing indicating that the fund in its control is, or is not exempt.
¶9In view of the recital in the order discharging the attachment, this case must be considered on appeal on the *201premise that no evidence in any form was introduced at the hearing, and that the court concluded for some legal reason that the fund was exempt, notwithstanding the averment in the affidavit that it was not exempt.
¶10While the burden of proof was upon the plaintiffs to sustain their attachment by the greater weight of the evidence (Seville v Wagner, 46 Oh St 52, 18 N. E. 430; Morelli v Thombs, 35 Oh Ap 233) the averment in their affidavit is sufficient for that purpose in the absence of any countervailing evidence.
¶11For this reason, the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, affirming the order of the Municipal Court discharging the attachment and garnishment is reversed and the order of the Municipal Court is also reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings according to law.
