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,
or to the clerk for his use, such debt, interest, and...

within pleading time or within 30 days before the case is called for trial and after notice
to the plaintiff or his attorney of record of his purpose so to do, may file his suggestion
in writing that the action arises over a disputed boundary line, in which suggestion he shall
describe the location of the true line, and the court or jury trying the issue shall ascertain
the true location of the boundary line, and judgment shall be entered accordingly, and shall
order the sheriff to establish and mark the true line as ascertained; and, in such case, the

Section 6-10-25 Declaration of claimed exemptions - Contesting of claims. A plaintiff, in person
or by his or her agent or attorney, may contest a claim of exemption after a declaration thereof
has been filed by making and filing with the officer holding the process an affidavit that,
in his belief, either the claim is invalid entirely or it is invalid in part or is excessive,
specifying wherein such invalidity or excess consists, and if excessive, also specifying the
property alleged to be in excess, to be, in all cases, the last named in the claim. If the
claim is of personal property, he or she must also deliver to the officer a bond in double
the value of the property sought to be levied on, with sureties to be approved by the officer,
payable to the defendant claiming the exemption and conditioned that if the plaintiff fails
in the contest, he or she will pay the defendant all such costs and damages as he or she may
sustain by reason of the wrongful institution of the contest....

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 6-6-459 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
in his answer, which, being reduced to writing setting forth particularly in what respect
the answer is deficient and being sworn to, an issue must thereupon be made up, under the
direction of the court, which must be tried by a jury if required by either party; but such
controversy shall not prevent the plaintiff from taking judgment upon the answer of the garnishee.

and other persons or corporations jointly liable. (a) The injured party, if he institutes
a civil action against the municipality for damages suffered by him, shall also join such
other person or persons or corporation so liable as defendant or defendants of the civil action,
and no judgment shall be entered against the city or town unless judgment is entered against
such other person or corporation so liable for such injury, except where a summons is returned
not found as to a defendant or when judgment is entered in his favor on some personal defense,
and if a civil action be brought against the city or town alone and it is made to appear that
any person or corporation ought to be joined as a defendant in the action according to the
provisions in Section 11-47-190, the action shall be dismissed, unless the plaintiff amends
his complaint by making such party or corporation a defendant,...

Section 35-6-23 Determination of questions of title and adjustment of equities. (a) If the
title of the plaintiffs seeking partition or sale of lands for a division shall be controverted,
or should the title or claim of any of the parties to the action be adverse to that of one
or more of the other parties, the question of title shall be tried and determined in the action
by the circuit court, which shall have power to determine all questions of title, and to remove
all clouds upon the title, if any, of the lands, whereof partition is sought and to apportion
incumbrances, if partition be made of land incumbered and it be deemed proper to do so; and
the court may adjust the equities between and determine all claims of the several cotenants
or claimants as well as the equities and claims of the incumbrancers; and may adjust, settle,
and determine all questions as to dower or curtesy as if separate proceedings had been brought
to settle and determine these questions. (b) In actions for...

whether at the time of suing out the attachment or subsequently thereto, a summons shall issue
upon the complaint in all respects, and with the same effect as if the action had been begun
by complaint. The issuance and service of such a summons shall in no manner affect the levy
