Judgments rendered by justices of the peace shall operate as a lien upon the property, real or personal, of the defendant or defendants therein, found or situated in the county where rendered, or in any other county where the same may be, which is not exempt by law from execution, if an abstract of the judgment be filed with the clerk of the circuit court of the county wherein the property is situated, and entered upon the judgment roll, as in other cases of enrolled judgments. The lien shall commence from the date of enrollment, and the judgment may be enrolled and have the force and effect of a lien in all cases where an appeal is taken, as well as in other cases. And in the event of a reversal of the judgment of the justice’s court, the clerk of the circuit court shall enter a memorandum to that effect on the judgment roll.
