Syllabus

<p>ATTACHMENT-INDEMNITY BOND TO SHERIFF-LIABILITY OF OBLI-GORS.</p> <p>Under the statutes governing attachment proceedings the lien of an attachment continues upon the property seized until it has been applied in satisfaction of the judgment rendered in the action, and such lien is not nullified or destroyed by the subsequent issuance of an execution on the judgment; hence, parties who have given the sheriff a bond indemnifying him against any damage or loss by reason of his seizure and retention of property under attachment, cannot escape responsibility by asserting that whatever damage accrued to the sheriff, where both a writ of attachment and a writ of execution had been issued, was by reason of the sale under the latter.</p>
