Section 11-23-9 - Execution stayed for value of property claimed, unless

Further proceedings on the execution shall be stayed for an amount equal to the value of the property claimed, as returned by the officer, until final decision of the claim; and on all subsequent executions issued on the judgment prior to the final decision of the claim, the clerk shall indorse the amount of the estimated value for the government of the officer to whom the same may be directed; but the plaintiff may dismiss the levy, and have execution as if it were never made.Codes, Hutchinson's 1848, ch. 62, art. 8 (2); 1857, ch. 61, art. 296; 1871, § 859; 1880, § 1775; 1892, § 4426; 1906, § 4991; Hemingway's 1917, § 3265; 1930, § 3425; 1942, § 1022.
