  2. Title 12

In all cases where a sheriff or other officer shall, by virtue

of an execution, levy upon any goods and chattels which shall remain

upon his hands unsold, for want of bidders, for the want of time to

advertise and sell, or any other reasonable cause, the officer may,

for his own security, take of the defendant an undertaking, with

security, in such sum as he may deem sufficient, to the effect that

the said property shall be delivered to the officer holding an

execution for the sale of the same, at the time and place appointed

by said officer, either by notice, given in writing, to said

defendant in execution, or by advertisement published in a newspaper

printed in the county, naming therein the day and place of sale. If

the defendant shall fail to deliver the goods and chattels at the

time and place mentioned in the notice to him, given, or to pay to

the officer holding the execution the full value of said goods and

chattels, or the amount of said debt and costs, the undertaking,

given as aforesaid, may be proceeded on as in other cases.
