Section 6-8-100 Answer of tender; judgment thereon. An answer of tender of money or of a thing
in action must be accompanied by a delivery of the money or such thing in action to the clerk
of the court. If the tender is of ponderous articles or other personal property, the answer
must aver a readiness to deliver it to the plaintiff. Judgment for the defendant upon the
answer vests the title to the thing tendered in the plaintiff, subject to any claim the defendant
may have for his trouble in keeping it. (Code 1852, §§2245, 2246; Code 1867, §§2648, 2649;

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...

and contents; execution bond. (a) In an action commenced on a bond, note, bill of exchange,
or other instrument which has been lost or destroyed by theft or otherwise, if affidavit is
made by the plaintiff of such loss or destruction and the contents thereof and that the same
has not been paid or otherwise discharged and accompanies the complaint, it must be received
as presumptive evidence both of the contents and loss or destruction of such instrument, unless
the defendant by answer, verified by affidavit, denies the execution of such bond, note, or
bill or the endorsement, acceptance, or the contents thereof, in which case proof of such
execution, endorsement, acceptance, or contents must be made by the plaintiff; provided, that
this section must not be so construed as to authorize an action for the recovery of bank notes

Section 6-10-29 Contest of exemption claim - Filing of inventory by defendant; effect of failure
to file. On any contest of a claim of exemption to personal property, on the plaintiff's written
demand, made at any time, the defendant claiming the exemption shall, within 10 days, file
a full and complete inventory, duly verified by oath, of all his or her personal property,
except the wearing apparel, portraits, pictures, and books specifically exempted from levy
and sale, with the value and location of each item of such property, of all money belonging
to him or her, whether in his or her possession or held by others for him or her, and of all
debts and choses in action belonging to him or her or in which he or she is beneficially interested,
with the value of each of them. If such inventory is not filed within the time prescribed,

6-6-456
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...

Section 6-6-483 Answer of state official garnished to show assent to judgment. Where an official
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
payment when due, the said answer must also show the assent of said person that judgment may
be entered in said case for the amount shown in said answer or so much thereof as may be necessary
to satisfy plaintiff's judgment. In no case shall judgment against said official or other
person designated in this division as the agent of the state be entered on said answer or

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

6-6-459
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.

Section 35-11-227 Actions by employees, etc.; defense by contractor. (a) If the action is by
an employee of the contractor, or by any person who has furnished to him material for the
building or improvement, the contractor shall be a necessary party defendant thereto; and
in such action on motion of the plaintiff, the owner or proprietor may be cited to answer
under oath how much was owing by him to the contractor on his contract with such contractor,
at the time of the service on him of the notice required by Section 35-11-218; and such answer
may be controverted, and proceedings had and judgment entered as in garnishment cases. (b)
