The officer shall return the claim, and such bond or bonds as shall have been taken by him, to the court to which the execution may be returnable, on or before the first day of the next term thereof, and the clerk shall enter the matter upon the docket, as near as may be, as civil cases are docketed, and the matter shall, unless continued for cause, be tried at the term at which the claim is returned.
2. The execution creditor shall answer or direct a motion to the claim returned by the officer on or before the second day of the term, and the claimant may reply to the answer within such time as may be directed by the court; and all proceedings in relation to such claim shall be governed, as far as practicable, by the law relating to pleadings and practice in civil actions.
3. If the execution creditor shall fail to answer or direct a motion, as herein provided, or the judgment shall be in favor of the claimant, the court shall by its order direct the officer to release such property to the claimant, and shall enter judgment for costs against the execution creditor and his sureties.
4. If the judgment shall be for the execution creditor, it shall be against the claimant and his sureties in like manner, and the court shall order the property sold, and a certified copy of such order shall be delivered to the officer, and shall have the force and effect of and be proceeded upon as special execution.
