§653-14 Warrants issued to plaintiff, when. In case there is certified to the garnishee a judgment for the plaintiff, from or to which no appeal or exception, at the time of its rendition, has been noted, it shall be incumbent upon the garnishee to draw, sign, and deliver to the plaintiff a warrant or warrants payable to the order of the plaintiff for such sum or sums as theretofore have been sequestered and not drawn against in pursuance of the action if the judgment equals or exceeds such sum or sums. If the amount so sequestered and not drawn against does not suffice to extinguish the judgment, then the sequestration and delivery to the plaintiff by the garnishee of a warrant payable to the order of the plaintiff shall continue from week to week, or from month to month, until the judgment, with legal interest, is fully paid, or until the beneficiary quits the service of and dissolves the beneficiary's relation to the government upon which the sequestration is founded.
