The sheriff shall judge of the sufficiency of the sureties on the bond of the defendant, and shall return the same with the writ of replevin into the district court; and shall be responsible on his official bond on returning any property replevied; but any party interested in the result of any such cause may move the court on cause shown to require the defendant in such cases to give additional security, when that taken by the sheriff shall be deemed insufficient, or to return the property to the sheriff to be delivered over to the plaintiff, if the plaintiff has given a good and sufficient replevin bond, as required by law.
