§47-23  Successive actions.  In case of
successive actions being so brought against the same county defendant,
precedence shall be given by the garnishee to that in which process is first
served on the garnishee; and if two or more processes are simultaneously
served, precedence shall be given in the order of the priority of their
issuance by the courts issuing them.  This order of precedence shall not be
disturbed by the fact of a posterior action being carried to final judgment
earlier than its anterior in time of service on the garnishee.  All amounts
held on account of the anterior action shall be held until the final
determination thereof, and then applied in payment of the judgment therein.  In
case the amounts shall not be sufficient fully to satisfy the judgment, then
all judgments obtained in posterior actions shall be again postponed to that in
the anterior action until it is satisfied. [L 1989, c 80, pt of §2]
