§ 11-29-9. Contents of writ.
The writ of sequestration shall be directed to the sheriff or other proper officer commanding him to seize and take into possession the property in question and to hold the same until the further order of the court or chancellor, or until the defendant from whose possession the same was taken shall enter into bond with sufficient sureties, payable to the complainant in double the value of the property, to be assessed by the officer, conditioned to have the property forthcoming to abide the decree to be made by the court in the cause, or until the said defendant shall enter into bond with sufficient sureties, to be approved by the officer, payable to the complainant, in double the amount of the indebtedness claimed, conditioned for the performance of such final decree as may be entered in the cause. If a forthcoming bond be given, it shall be returned with the writ and filed in the cause, and, in case the property shall not be delivered or forthcoming to abide the decree, the bond shall have the force and effect of a judgment; and execution may issue thereon against all the obligors for the amount of the decree or the value of the property, according to the nature of the case. If a bond in double the debt be given, it shall be returned and filed with the papers in the cause. A bond in double the value of the property shall always be required, except when its value shall greatly exceed the debt and all probable costs.
