He must also deliver a written assignment, duly acknowledged, of each undertaking, so delivered, and of each other instrument, to which the defendant is thus entitled, an assignment of which is necessary to perfect or protect the defendant's title thereto. The defendant must also, but upon his own application only, be substituted in place of the sheriff, or the sheriff and the plaintiff jointly, in an action brought as prescribed in this title; but the court or judge may impose, as a condition of granting the order of substitution, such terms as justice requires, with respect to indemnity and payment of expenses. The defendant's rights, with respect to property attached and not disposed of, and an undertaking, or other instrument, to which he is thus entitled. are the same as those of the sheriff while the warrant was still in force, except where his rights are specially defined or regulated by law.

§ 711. Cancelling notice attaching real property.

At any time after the warrant of attachment has been vacated or annulled, or the attachment has been discharged as to real property attached, the court may, in its discretion, upon the application of any person aggrieved, and upon such notice as it deems just, direct that any notice. filed for the purpose of attaching the property, be cancelled of record, by the clerk of the county where it is filed and recorded. The cancellation must be made by a note, to that effect, on the margin of the record; referring to the order; and, unless the order is entered in the same clerk's office a certified copy thereof must, at the same time, be filed therein.

execution of any such bond by any fidelity or surety company authorized by the laws of this state to transact business, shall be equivalent to the execution of said bond by two sureties. And the court, or, where the order was made out of court, the judge making the order, by or pursuant to which the receiver was appointed, or his successor in office, may, at any time remove the receiver, or direct him to give new bond, with new sureties, with the like conditions.

A receiver who, having executed and filed a bond as provided for in this section, before presenting his accounts as receiver, must give notice to the surety or sureties on his official bond, of his intention to present his accounts, not less than eight days before the day set for the hearing on said accounting. The same notice must be given to such surety or sureties where the accounting is ordered on the petition of a person or persons other than the receiver, and in no case shall the receiver's accounts be passed, settled or allowed, unless the said notice provided for in this section shall have first been given to the surety or sureties on the official bond of such receiver.
