1. ““ The defendant may, at any time before final judgment in the action, release all property which may have been seized by virtue of the attachment writ, by his executing an undertaking as hereinafter provided. Such undertaking shall be given by the defendant to the plaintiff, be signed by two responsible sureties, each a resident of the county in which the suit is pending, and shall be to the effect that in case the plaintiff recover judgment against the defendant in the action, and the attachment is not dissolved, the defendant will deliver to the constable all property which has been seized by him by virtue of the attachment writ, or, on failure so to do, will pay to the plaintiff the full value of the property attached, not exceeding the amount of the judgment and costs recovered in the action.””
