Approved March 24, 1926.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section sixty-five hundred and ten of the Code of Virginia be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 6510. How he is examined; court’s order on such ex-
amination; execution thereon.—A person so summoned shall appear
in person and be examined on oath, or he may file a statement verified
by affidavit; and a corporation so summoned shall appear by an
authorized agent who shall be examined on oath, or it may file a
statement, not under seal, verified by affidavit of such authorized
agent. Such statement shall show the amount the garnishee is
indebted to the judgment debtor, if any, or what property or effects,
if any, the garnishee has or holds which belongs to the judgment
debtor, or in which he has an interest. If the judgment debtor
dispute the verity or accuracy of such statement and so desire, then
summons shall issue requiring the appearance of such person or
authorized agent for examination on oath, and requiring him to
produce such books and papers as may be necessary to determine the
fact. If it appear from such verified statement or upon either such
examination that there is any such liability on him, the court or
justice may give judgment against him for any amount found due
the execution debtor, and order him to deliver any estate for which
there is such liability, or pay the value of such estate, to any officer
whom it may designate; and the levy of an execution on such order
shall be valid, although levied by such officer.
