by the officer serving the same, and upon the return of the writ, a duplicate
short note shall be sent by the clerk of the court where the writ issues to the '
sheriff of that city or county to be set up by him at the court house door
of said city or county, and the service of any writ and the posting of any
short note, wherever a writ of attachment may have been or shall be served

person or corporation may file a petition, under oath, with the court before
whom such attachment or execution is returnable, setting forth clearly the
character and origin of his, her or its claim to the property so levied upon,
and thereupon it shall be the duty of the clerk to docket a suit against both
the plaintiff and defendant in such attachment or execution and issue a
summons directed to said plaintiff and defendant, giving notice of such
claim and returnable to the next succeeding rule day or term of said court.
If such claimant shall establish the validity of his, her or its claim to said
property, costs shall be awarded to said claimant, and said claimant shall
also be entitled to recover damages in such suit for the wrong and injury
done to him, her or it by reason of such seizure and detention of his, her
or its property.
