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 6-6-463 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...

6-6-286
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...

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 6-6-455 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,...

property. When money, choses in action or personal property are garnished and the defendant

verified by oath, in the court in which such proceedings are pending, accompanied by a statement
setting forth the personal property, choses in action, and money and the location and value
