Section 6-6-453 Payment of indebtedness or liability to clerk; effect thereof; ordering of deposit by court. (a) When the garnishee admits indebtedness or liability to the defendant and the defendant has not executed bond for the dissolution of the garnishment, as provided in Division 4 of this article, the garnishee may, by order of the court first had and obtained, pay the amount of such indebtedness or liability or so much thereof as the court may direct into the hands of the clerk, to be held subject to the judgment in the case.

(b) The court may, in its discretion, direct the clerk to deposit, pending the action, the money at interest in a bank authorized to receive deposits of public funds.

Section 6-6-455 Proceedings when garnishee liable for delivery of personal property. If the garnishee is liable for the delivery of personal property or for the payment of money which may be discharged by the delivery of personal property, the value of the property must be ascertained and a judgment entered against the garnishee that if he does not, by a day to be fixed by the court which must be a day after the maturity of such contract, deliver such property to the sheriff or other lawful officer, he must pay the value thereof or the sum of money which was payable therein.

Section 6-6-454 Judgment where answer admits indebtedness to defendant.

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.
