Writs of garnishment, in all cases, may be issued to any county; but if the garnishee whose answer is contested, shall not be a resident of the county, then, upon an issue being made upon his answer, the venue of the trial of the issue may be changed, on his application, to the county of his residence. The court in which the issue is tried shall cause the facts found to be certified and returned with the issue to the court from which the writ issued, and judgment shall be entered thereupon as if the issue had there been tried.Codes, Hutchinson's 1848, ch. 56, art. 4 (27), art. 13 (4); 1857, ch. 52, art. 29; 1871, § 1446; 1880, § 2453; 1892, § 2147; 1906, § 2355; Hemingway's 1917, § 1950; 1930, § 1856; 1942, § 2808.
