Section 6-6-456 Judgment and proceedings if possession of effects subject to levy and sale
admitted. If the garnishee admits the possession of effects of the defendant, the subject
of levy and sale under legal process, judgment of condemnation must be entered that such effects
be delivered upon demand after the entry of judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the original
action, or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the judgment, and the sheriff must
make sale thereof. If the garnishee fails to deliver such effects to the sheriff on demand,
he must make return thereof to the clerk, who must thereupon issue an execution against the
garnishee in favor of the plaintiff for the amount of the judgment and costs. If, however,
such failure is without fault or negligence on the part of the garnishee, he may tender to
the plaintiff, his agent, or attorney the value of such effects; and, if such tender is refused,
he may obtain relief by supersedeas. (Code 1852, §§2542-2544; Code...

Section 6-10-26 Claim of exemption after levy and prior to sale; contesting of such claim.
The right of homestead or other exemption shall not be waived or lost by a failure, before
the levy of process, to file for record a declaration claiming the same; but the defendant,
in person or by his or her agent or attorney, may, at any time after the levy and prior to
a sale, file with the officer making the levy a claim in writing, verified by oath, to such
property, or any part thereof, as exempt and, if of a part, describing the same; and, within

her agent or attorney, may contest the claim in the mode provided in Section 6-10-25; except,
that no bond need be executed; and on the institution of such contest, the officer shall,
within three days thereafter, give the defendant written notice of the same. If...

Section 6-6-256 Assessment of value and damages and judgment - Trial of action. Upon the trial
the jury must, if it finds for the plaintiff, assess the value of each article separately,
if practicable, and also assess damages for its detention. If it finds for the defendant,
it must, in like manner, assess the value and, if in the possession of the plaintiff, assess
damages for its detention. Judgment against either party must be for the property sued for,
or its alternate value, with damages for its detention to the time of trial. (Code 1852, §2194;

Section 6-6-282 Actions by mortgagee, etc., against mortgagors, etc. If the action is by a
mortgagee or his assignee against the mortgagor, or anyone holding under him, the defendant
may plead payment of the mortgage debt or the performance of the condition of the mortgage,
or any matter which might be pleaded to a direct civil action for the recovery of the mortgage
debt, except the statute of limitations. The jury must pass upon such answers and must ascertain
the amount of the mortgage debt if any is found to exist. If the verdict is for the defendant,
judgment must be entered for him; but if the verdict ascertains an amount due on the mortgage
debt, judgment must be entered for the plaintiff for the possession of the land and the costs,
and the amount of the mortgage debt, as ascertained by the jury, must be stated in the judgment.
If, within 30 days after the entry of the judgment, the defendant shall pay to the plaintiff,

Section 6-6-286 Proceedings upon defendant's suggestion of adverse possession. (a) When an
action is commenced to recover land or the possession thereof, the defendant may, at any time
before the trial, suggest upon the record that he, and those whose possession he has, have,
for three years next before the commencement of the action, had adverse possession thereof,
which must be construed to mean the same character of possession as will put in operation
the statute of limitations. In such case, if the jury finds for the plaintiff, it must also
ascertain by its verdict whether such suggestion is true or false. If the jury finds it to
be false, it must return a verdict for the damages as in ordinary cases. If the jury finds
it to be true, it must assess the value, at the time of trial, of the permanent improvements
made by the defendant, or those whose estate he has, and also ascertain by its verdict the
value of the lands and of the use and occupation thereof, not including the...
