Section 6-6-459 Contest of answer by defendant. The defendant, upon the coming in of the answer,
may, within 30 days after notice of the filing of the answer, allege that the garnishee is
indebted to him in a larger sum than he has admitted, is otherwise liable to him on a demand,
the subject of garnishment, or that he holds money or effects of the defendant not admitted

the answer is deficient and being sworn to, an issue must thereupon be made up, under the

controversy shall not prevent the plaintiff from taking judgment upon the answer of the garnishee.
