21-18-49. Costs awarded in garnishment proceedings. In case of the trial of an issue between the plaintiff and any garnishee, costs shall be awarded to the plaintiff and against the garnishee in addition to his liability if the plaintiff recovers more than the garnishee admitted by his answer; and if he does not, the garnishee shall recover costs of the plaintiff. In all other cases under this chapter not expressly provided for, the court may award costs in favor of or against any party in its discretion. When no such issue is tried the costs of the garnishee action shall be taxed for the plaintiff in the principal action, if he recovers therein.
