It is the duty of the county judge to require the sureties entering into such bond to justify before him, each in the sum stated in the bond. If the claimant excepts to the sureties, or either of them, it is lawful for the judge, and he is required, to examine the sureties excepted to on oath, touching the sufficiency of said sureties; and, if the judge finds any of the sureties insufficient, it is the duty of the judge to require further sufficient sureties, which shall be likewise approved and justified.
