received by each with interest thereon. If any such person is unable to
furnish the security his share shall be converted into money, and under the

proceedings shall be paid out of said shares of stock and dividends afore-
said of the estate. Provided, however, that the procedure provided by this
section is cumulative and not exclusive, and nothing in this section con-
tained is to be taken or construed as limiting in any way the right of any
party who claims to be entitled to a new certificate of stock in place of a
lost or destroyed certificate which was issued in the manner hereinbefore
indicated, to have his, her or its right to such new certificate determined
and adjudicated, without regard to this section, by resort to and judgment
of any court of law or equity which would have jurisdiction to determine
and adjudicate such right in the event that this section had never been
passed; and provided further, that the procedure herein provided for shall
not be the exclusive remedy in any cases already instituted or suits now
pending, growing out of the loss of a certificate of stock issued in the name
of an agent or trustee.

dered by a court of law or equity, or in any proceeding by attachment,
has on the books thereof in the capital Stock of a corporation of this State,
or of any national bank located therein, shall be liable to execution or
attachment, and the proceedings thereon shall be as follows: the sheriff
or other execution officer charged with the execution of the writ shall
leave at the principal office of the corporation a notice in writing that he
has seized the stock of the defendant (naming him and the purpose for
which he has seized the same), and shall retain a copy of such notice and
return it with the writ, the precise time of service being endorsed thereon.
Upon receipt of such notice, the president or officer of the corporation to
whom the same shall have been delivered, shall state in writing to the sheriff
or other execution officer, the number of, shares of stock standing in the
name of the defendant at the time of such notice; and if the president or
other corporate officer shall refuse or neglect for twenty-four hours to
deliver such statement, the sheriff of other execution officer shall certify the
fact to the court to which the writ is returnable, or to any judge thereof;
and the said judge or court may order an attachment for contempt against
such president or other corporate officer, and may compel him to answer
under oath on oral examination, as to the number of shares of stock in the
name of such defendant at the time of service of such notice, and may
compel the production of the books of the corporation, and also fine the
president or other officer for not giving the required statement. When
the sheriff or other execution officer has ascertained the number of shares
of stock standing in the name of the defendant he shall make a schedule
thereof, or of so much thereof as will be amply sufficient to secure the debt
