““When money belonging to a defendant is attached in the hands of a third party by process of foreign attachment, the garnishee cannot safely pay it over to either party pending the continuance of the suit in which it is attached, but must hold it to abide the result of the action. If he is not under contract to pay interest and makes no use of the money, hut retains it as a mere stakeholder, he will not be liable for interest until the result of the suit determines to which party he shall pay it. Candee v. Skinner, 40 Conn. 464 ; Phœnix Ins. Co. v. Carey, 80 Conn. 426 , 432, 68 Atl. 993 . But when he mingles the money attached with his own and has, the use of it, he is liable for the interest on it.””
