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 6-6-430 Filing of bond; discharge of money or property from garnishment; proceedings
as if bond not executed; judgment; discharge of garnishee. (a) When garnishment has been issued
in aid of a pending action or upon a judgment, the defendant may make and file with the judge
or clerk issuing the garnishment bond in such sum as the judge or clerk may prescribe, not
exceeding twice the amount of the plaintiff's demand, payable to the plaintiff, with sufficient
surety, to be approved by such judge or clerk, conditioned to pay the amount for which the
garnishee may be found indebted or liable to the defendant and the cost of the garnishment.
Thereupon, the money or property in the hands of the garnishee is discharged from the garnishment
and the garnishee relieved of all liability therefor to the plaintiff; but the garnishee must
answer, and, except as is otherwise provided in this article, the case must proceed and be
determined as if such bond had not been executed. (b) If the...

Section 6-6-431 Bond in double amount; dissolution of garnishment and discharge of all garnishees;
judgment against obligors. (a) The defendant may, instead of the bond mentioned in Section
6-6-430, give bond in double the amount of the plaintiff's demand, payable to the plaintiff,
with sufficient surety, to be approved by the judge or clerk and conditioned to pay such judgment
as may be entered or ascertained to exist in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant
in the case and costs of the action. Thereupon, the garnishment is dissolved and the garnishee
discharged and need not answer; and, upon the trial of the case, if judgment is entered or
ascertained to exist in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant, the court must also
enter judgment against the obligors in the bond for the amount of such judgment, interest
thereon and costs of the action. (b) The giving of the bond authorized in this section operates
to discharge all garnishees in the case, whether one or more....

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. Upon the return of the sheriff or such other officer that
such property was not delivered or the value thereof or such sum of money was not paid to
him as required by the judgment, execution must be issued for the ascertained value of such
property or for the sum of money payable therein, if the same is less than the amount of the
judgment against the defendant in the original action, or, if more or equal thereto,...

of the State of Alabama or other person designated in this division has been garnished, as
provided by Section 6-6-482, and answer has been filed by said person, in accordance with
the mandate of said writ, admitting that the said State of Alabama is due, or will be due,
the defendant in said garnishment proceedings money for salary and has said money ready for

6-6-457
Section 6-6-457 Proceedings on failure to appear and answer. If the garnishee fails to appear
and answer, a conditional judgment must be entered against him for the amount of the plaintiff's
claim, as ascertained by his judgment, to be made absolute unless he appears within 30 days
after notice of the conditional judgment issued by the clerk, to be served on him, as other
process, by the sheriff. If he fails to appear within the time required by the notice served
upon him or if two notices are returned "not found" by the sheriff of the county
in which the garnishment was executed, the judgment must be made absolute. (Code 1852, §2545;
Code 1867, §2973; Code 1876, §3298; Code 1886, §2980; Code 1896, §2195; Code 1907, §4324;

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. Such payment
has the effect to discharge the garnishee from liability for the amount so paid and interest
subsequently accruing thereon, but does not prevent the interposition and trial of collateral
issues as provided in Division 6 of this article. (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. (Code 1896, §§2188, 2189; Code 1907,...

6-6-463
Section 6-6-463 Disposition of claims of other persons suggested by garnishee. (a) When the
garnishee, by his answer as originally filed or by any supplemental answer thereafter, alleges,
at any time before final judgment against him, that he has been notified that another person
claims title to, or an interest in, the debt, demand, money, or effects which, by his answer,
he has admitted to be due or owing or to be in his possession, the clerk must issue notice
to the suggested claimant to appear within 30 days after service of the notice and propound
his claim and contest with the plaintiff the right to such debt, demand, money or effects.
(b) If he appears, he must be required to propound his claim in writing and make oath thereto,
upon which the plaintiff must take issue in law or in fact, and the issue in fact must be
tried by a jury, if required by either party. If the issue is found for the plaintiff, judgment
must be entered against the garnishee on his answer or, if for the...
