The sheriff or constable shall without delay give the plaintiff a copy of the bond received pursuant to §21-17A-17 with notice of the time when the same was delivered to him. The plaintiff shall, within three days thereafter, give notice to the sheriff or constable that he objects to the sureties or he waives all objections to them. If the plaintiff objects, the sureties shall justify as provided in §21-17A-7. The sheriff or constable is responsible for the sufficiency of the sureties and may retain possession of the attached property until they justify, or until the objection is waived. Thereafter, the sheriff or constable shall deliver the property attached to the defendant. If real estate is attached, the sheriff or constable shall file a certificate of the discharge thereof in the office of the register of deeds. If judgment is for the plaintiff, all his costs and disbursements on the attachment shall be included in the judgment.
