Syllabus

<p>■Garnishment. Fold return. Judgment thereon. Qode 1880, § 2443.</p> <p>“Where a writ of garnishment omits to require an answer in writing, or to require the garnishee to answer whether he was indebted, to defendant at the time of the summoning of the garnishee, or since that time, or whether he has since had effects of defendant, a return by the officer that he had handed to the garnishee “ a true notice of the within)” is insufficient, since notice of every thing in the writ would not be a compliance with § 2443, code 1880, which entitles the garnishee to notice in writing of the answer he is required to make. A judgment by default on such return will be reversed.</p>
