When any affidavit is filed, either in circuit courts or chancery courts in the state of Mississippi, attaching, sequestrating, replevying, or seizing any commodities described in Section 11-1-43, the plaintiff therein shall be required to file, within forty-eight hours, after the writ or affidavit has been issued, a declaration stating cause of action if in the circuit courts, or a bill of complaint if filed in the chancery courts, stating cause of action upon which the seizure is made. Upon filing of said declaration or bill of complaint, an issue shall be joined thereon, and a hearing, in vacation, may be had before the circuit judge or chancellor in the said district where said writ was issued to determine the rights of the said parties to the ownership of the said commodities so seized. Upon hearing of evidence, the court may in vacation render judgment and award possession to the parties entitled and may, if said writ or writs were illegally issued out, award damages on said bond to the parties entitled thereto.
