     27-17-303. Exception to plaintiff's sureties -- justification -- liability of sheriff. The defendant may, within 2 days after service of a copy of the affidavit and undertaking, give notice to the sheriff that he excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. If he fails to do so, he shall be deemed to have waived all objections to them. When the defendant excepts, the sureties must justify on notice in like manner as upon bail on arrest; and the sheriff is responsible for the sufficiency of the sureties until the objection to them is waived, as above provided, or until they justify. If the defendant except to the sureties, he cannot claim the property, as provided in 27-17-304.
