The defendant may, at time before the trial or judgment, serve upon the
plaintiff an offer to allow judgment to be taken against him for the sum or
property, or to the effect therein specified. If the plaintiff accepts the offer,
and gives notice thereof within five (5) days, he may file the offer, with
