The court may make proper orders for the preservation of property attached during the pendency of a suit and direct a sale of it when, because of its perishable nature or the costs of its keeping, that will be for the benefit of the parties. The sale shall be public, after such advertisement as is prescribed for the sale of like property on execution, and shall be made in such manner and on such terms of credit, with security, as, having regard to the probable duration of the action, the court or judge directs. The sheriff shall hold and pay over all proceeds of the sale collected by him and all money received by him from garnishees under the same requirements and responsibilities of himself and sureties as are provided in respect to money deposited in lieu of bail.
