and the same proceedings shall be had thereon with the like effect as in case of seizure upon execution.

§ 157. [155.] If judgment be recovered by the plaintiff, and it shall appear that the property has been attached in the action, and has not been sold as perishable St. 1878, p. 100. property or discharged from the attachment as provided by law, the court shall order and adjudge the property to be sold to satisfy the plaintiff's demands, and if execution issue thereon, the sheriff shall apply the property attached by him, or the proceeds thereof, upon the execution, and if there be any such property or proceeds remaining after satisfying such execution, he shall, upon demand, deliver the same to the defendant.

Oct. 11, 1862, 156.

Judgment not plaintiff.

Sale. The sale here is a sale on execution, and is governed by the provisions therefor in § 292 [289] et seq.

An order for sale is no bar to an action for recovery of property exempt from execution and duly claimed as such: Berry v. Charlton, 10 Or. 362.

Defendant may pay judgment; but a deposit or payment to the clerk is not payment: Sagely v. Livermore, 45 Cal. 616.

Surplus on sale of attached property. -If a creditor of defendant attach the surplus in the sheriff's hands, it seems the sheriff is liable personally only, and his sureties are not: People v. Stewart, 7 Cal. 144. In this case the sheriff had gone out of office before the attachment. When the attachment is satisfied, the property not disposed of, as well as surplus moneys, are subject to the rights of the debtor or his assignee: Sexey v. Adkinson, 40 Id. 408.

§ 158. [156.] If judgment be not recovered by the plaintiff, all the property attached, or the proceeds recovered by thereof, or the undertaking therefor, shall be returned to the defendant upon his serving upon the sheriff a certified copy of the order discharging the attachment. Defendant, judgment for, ipso facto dissolves attachment: O'Connor v. Blake, 29 Cal. 316.

Order for

erty.

17 Or. 310.

§ 159. [157.] Whenever the defendant shall have appeared in the action he may apply upon notice to the return of prop plaintiff to the court or judge where the action is pending, or to the clerk of such court, for an order to discharge the attachment upon the execution of the undertaking mentioned in the next section; and if the application be allowed, all the proceeds of sales, and property remaining in his hands, shall be released from the attachment and delivered to the defendant upon his serving a certified copy of the order on the sheriff.

Bond for discharge of attachment. The bond or undertaking by defendant under this section operates as an absolute discharge of the property from attachment: Duncan v. Thomas, 1 Or. 314; the bond taking the place of the property, and

the action losing its character as one in Oct. 11, 1862,
rem: Benton v. Roberts, 2 La. Ann. § 157.

ple v. Cameron, 7 Ill. 468; Cain v.

Clark, 2 McCord, 347.

Undertaking

§ 160. [158.] Upon such application, the defendant oct. 11, 1862, shall deliver to the court or judge to whom the application is made an undertaking executed by one or more therefor. sureties, resident householders or freeholders of this state, to the effect that the sureties will pay to the plaintiff the amount of the judgment that may be recovered against the defendant in the action. If the plaintiff demand it, the sureties shall be required to justify in the same manner as bail upon an arrest.

Form of undertaking. It has been held that a common-law bond embracing the requisite conditions is sufficient: Curiac v. Packard, 29 Cal. 194; Cook v. Boyd, 16 B. Mon. 556. The only remedy, if the bond is in

sufficient, is to have the property re-
attached: See Dudley v. Goodrich, 16
Barb. 189; Hartford v. Pendleton, 4
Abb. Pr. 460.

Justification of sureties: See
§§ 117-121 [115-119].

[159.] The defendant may, at any time before Oct. 11, 1862, judgment, except where the cause of attachment and the $159. cause of action are the same, apply to the court or judge discharge thereof, where the action is pending, to discharge the attachment, in the manner and with the effect as provided 8 or. 25.

§ 162. [160.] When the writ of attachment shall be Oct. 11, 1862, fully executed or discharged, the sheriff shall return same, with his proceedings indorsed thereon, to clerk of the court where the action was commenced. Return. The statute contains no express provision requiring that all the acts necessary to a valid levy shall be set out in the return: Ritter v. Scannell, 11 Cal. 238. But it is the duty of the sheriff to set them out: Sharp v. Baird, 43 Id. 577.

The return is not conclusive, but 13 Or. 360. is prima facie evidence of the facts stated: Nichols v. Patten, 18 Me 231; S. C., 36 Am. Dec. 713; Palmer v. Thayer, 28 Conn. 237; Pomroy v. Parmlee, 9 Iowa, 140.
