73. When an execution on a judgment of a justice of the peace is
levied upon property claimed by any person other than the party
against whom it issued, such person or his agent or attorney may apply
to a justice of the peace of the county or city in which the levy is for
a warrant to a constable, requiring him to summon both the judgment
creditor and debtor to show cause why the property so levied upon
should not be discharged from the levy, and said warrant shall be
returnable in not less than five days; and if an earlier day shall have
been fixed for the sale of the property so levied upon, the justice shall
make an order on the warrant requiring a postponement of the same
until after the return day; and upon hearing the parties, or such of
them as may attend after being summoned, he shall order the property
to be delivered to the claimants, or the person from whom it was taken,
or shall dismiss the summons, as may seem most proper, and may give
such judgment for costs as shall seem just, subject, however, to the
right of appeal as now provided by law; and upon appeal from the
judgment of a justice awarding the property to the claimant, the jus-
tice shall require security of the claimant for the safe keeping and
return of the property to await the determination of the appeal.
