Justification of sureties - Garnishees discharged
Official statutory text
When the plaintiff excepts, the sureties shall appear for
justification before the judge of the district court or the county
judge of the county in which the action is brought, at a time and
place to be mentioned in the notice given by the plaintiff, and may
be examined on oath on the part of the plaintiff touching their
sufficiency, in such manner as the judge in his discretion may think
proper. The examination shall be reduced to writing and subscribed
by the sureties, if required by the plaintiff. If the judge find
the sureties sufficient he shall annex the examination to the
undertaking, endorse his allowance thereon, and cause them to be
filed with the clerk of the district court. Thereafter all the
garnishees shall be discharged, and the garnishment proceedings
shall be deemed discontinued, and any money or property paid or
delivered to any officer shall be surrendered to the person entitled
thereto, and the costs shall be taxable as disbursements of the
plaintiff in the action if he recovers. The judge may in his
discretion require the costs of the justification before him,
including fees to the sureties as witnesses, to be forthwith paid by
the party requiring justification.
