demand, shall deliver over to the defendant the residue of the attached property or the proceeds thereof.

238. The actions herein authorized to be brought by the sheriff may be prosecuted by the plaintiff, or under his direction, upon the delivery by him to the sheriff of an undertaking executed by two sufficient sureties, to the effect that the plaintiff will indemnify the sheriff from all damages, costs and expenses on account thereof, not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars in any one action. Such sureties shall in all cases, when required by the sheriff, justify, by making an affidavit that each is a householder, and worth double the amount of the penalty of the bond, over and above all demands and liabilities.

239. If the foreign corporation, or absent or ab sconding or concealed defendant, recover judgment against the plaintiff in such action, any bond taken by the sheriff, except such as are mentioned in the last section, all the proceeds of sales and moneys collected by him, and all the property attached remaining in his hands, shall be delivered by him to the defendant, or his agent, on request, and the warrant shall be discharged, and the property released therefrom.

8240. Whenever the defendant shall have appeared in such action, he may apply to the officer who issued the attachment, or to the court, for an order to discharge the same, and if the same be granted all the proceeds of sales and moneys collected by him, and all the property attached remaining in his hands, shall be delivered or paid by him to the de

G

fendant, or nis agent, and released from the attach

ment.

And where there is more than one defendant, and several property of either of the defendants has been seized by virtue of the order of attachment, the defendant, whose several property has been seized, may apply to the officer who issued the attachment for relief under this section.

2241. Upon such application the defendant shall deliver to the court or officer an undertaking, executed by at least two sureties who are residents and freeholders, or householders, in this state, approved by such court or officer, to the effect that the sureties will, on demand, pay to the plaintiff the amount of judgment that may be recovered against the defendant in the action, not exceeding the sum specified in the undertaking, which shall be at least double the amount claimed by the plaintiff in his complaint. If it shall appear by affidavit that the property attached be less than the amount claimed by the plaintiff, the court or officer issuing the attachment may order the same to be appraised, and the amount of the undertaking shall then be double the amount so appraised.

And the plaintiff may, within three days after receiving written notice of the filing of such undertaking, give notice to the sheriff that he excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. If he fails so to do, he shall be deemed to have waived all objection to them. When the plaintiff excepts, the sureties shall justify on notice in like manner as upon bail on

arrest.

And the sheriff shall be responsible for the sufficiency of the sureties, and may retain possession of the property attached, and the proceeds thereof in his

hands, until the objection to them is either waived as above provided, or until they shall justify, or new sureties shall be substituted and justify.

And in all cases the defendant may move to discharge the attachment, as in the case of other provisional remedies.

And when there is more than one defendant, and several property of either of the defendants has been seized by virtue of the order of attachment, the defendant, whose several property has been seized, may deliver to the court or officer an undertaking in accordance with the provisions of this section, to the effect that he will, on demand, pay to the plaintiff the amount of judgment that may be recovered against such defendant.

And all the provisions of this section applicable to such undertaking shall be applied thereto.

242. When the warrant shall be fully executed or discharged, the sheriff shall return the same, with his proceedings thereon, to the court in which the action was brought.

243. The sheriff shall be entitled to the same fees and compensation for services, and the same disbursements, under this title, as are allowed by law for like services and disbursements under the provisions of chapter 5, title 1, and part 2 of the Revised Statutes. Provided, however, that no poundage or other compensation shall be allowed to the said sheriff (except his fee of fifty cents for making the levy, and such compensation for his trouble and expenses in taking possession of and preserving the property as shall be fixed by the officer issuing the attachment), unless a settlement shall be had or a judgment shall brecovered and collected, in whole

61641

or in part, in the action in which the attachment in this title referred to shall have issued. And where a judgment shall have been recovered and collected in part only, the amount of his poundage shall not be estimated upon any sum greater than the sum collected upon such judgment. And where a settlement shall be had, the amount of his poundage shall not be estimated upon any sum greater than the amount at which said settlement is made.

CHAPTER V.

Provisional Remedies.

8244. A receiver may be appointed:

1. Before judgment, on the application of either party, when he establishes an apparent right to property which is the subject of the action, and which is in the possession of an adverse party, and the property, or its rents and profits, are in danger of being lost or materially injured or impaired, except in cases where judgment upon failure to answer may be had without application to the court.

2. After judgment, to carry the judgment into effect.

3. After judgment, to dispose of the property ac cording to the judgment, or to preserve it during the pendency of an appeal, or when an execution has been returned unsatisfied, and the judgment debtor refuses to apply his property in satisfaction of the judgment.

4. In the cases provided in this Code, and by special statutes, when a corporation has been dissolved, or is insolvent, or in imminent danger of insolvency, or has forfeited its corporate rights; and in like

cases, of the property within this state of foreign corporations. Receivers of the property within this state of foreign or other corporations shall b allowed such commissions as may be fixed by the court appointing them, not exceeding five per cent on the amount received and disbursed by them.

5. In such other cases as are now provided by law or may be in accordance with the existing practice. except as otherwise provided in this act.

When it is admitted by the pleading or examinetion of a party, that he has in his possession, or under his control, any money or other thing capable of delivery, which, being the subject of the litigation, is held by him as trustee for another party, or which belongs or is due to another party, the court may order the same to be deposited in court, or delivered to such party, with or without security, subject to the further direction of the court.

Whenever, in the exercise of its authority, a court shall have ordered the deposit, delivery or conveyance of money or other property, and the order is disobeyed, the court, besides punishing the disobedience, as for contempt, may make an order, requiring the sheriff to take the money or property, and deposit, deliver or convey it, in conformity with the direction of the court.

When the answer of the defendant, expressly or by not denying, admits part of the plaintiff's claim to be just, the court on motion may order such defendant to satisfy that part of the claim, and may enforce the order as it enforces a judgment or provisional remedy,
