Effect of discharge Upon taking such oath, the prisoner shall be discharged as other persons are discharged upon taking the poor debtor’s oath, and shall thereafter be free from arrest or imprisonment upon an execution issued upon any judgment rendered in such bastardy proceedings or founded thereon. The judgment shall remain in force, and the plaintiff may have execution against his or her property for nonpayment of orders of court, or may sustain an action of contract thereon.
