Section 266

SEC. 266. Proceedings when objection is made to the sufficiency of the obligation. — The defendant may, within two days after the service of a copy of the affidavit and undertaking and warrant, give notice to the clerk that he excepts to the sufficiency of the obligation or of the sureties. If he fails to do so, he is deemed to have waived all objections to them. When the defendant excepts, the clerk, on notice to both parties, and on hearing, shall investigate the sufficiency of the sureties as to their financial responsibility. If the clerk finds the obligation to be insufficient in amount, he shall require a new obligation with sufficient sureties to be executed in double the value of the property as he shall ascertain it to be. If he shall find that the sureties are insufficient, he shall require new and sufficient sureties forthwith. In either case, if the plaintiff does not forthwith furnish a sufficient obligation with sufficient sureties, the clerk shall make an order for the return of the property to the defendant, and it shall be returned. If the defendant except to the obligation or to the sureties, he can not reclaim the property as provided in the next section.
