An answer of tender of money or of a thing in action must be accompanied by a delivery of the money or such thing in action to the clerk of the court. If the tender is of ponderous articles or other personal property, the answer must aver a readiness to deliver it to the plaintiff. Judgment for the defendant upon the answer vests the title to the thing tendered in the plaintiff, subject to any claim the defendant may have for his trouble in keeping it.
