When upon an execution against several persons jointly liable, more than a due proportion of the judgment is satisfied by one of them, said person is entitled to the benefit of the judgment to enforce contribution or reimbursement, if within thirty (30) days after his payment, he files with the clerk of the court where the judgment was rendered notice of his payment and claim to contribution or reimbursement. Upon the filing of such notice, the clerk shall make an entry thereof in the margin of the docket and, on motion of the interested party, shall issue a writ of execution against the other joint debtors.
