If real property is attached, the marshal shall make a certificate containing the title of the cause, the names of the parties, a description of such real property, and a statement that the same has been attached at the action of the plaintiff and the date thereof. Within ten days from the date of attachment, the marshal shall deliver such certificate to the recorder of deeds who shall file and record the same in his office in the judicial division in which the property is located. When such certificate is so filed for record the lien in favor of the plaintiff shall attach to the real property described in the certificate from the date of the attachment, but if filed afterwards it shall only attach, as against the third persons, from the date of such subsequent filing.\nWhenever such lien shall be discharged it shall be the duty of the recorder, when requested, to record the transcript of any order, entry of satisfaction of judgment, or other proceeding of record whereby it appears that such lien has been discharged in the records. The recorder shall also enter on the margin of the page on which the certificate is recorded a minute of the discharge, and the page and book where

that such lien has been discharged in the records. The recorder shall also enter on the margin of the page on which the certificate is recorded a minute of the discharge, and the page and book where recorded.
