The delivery bond, if forfeited, shall be, in the hands of the officer holding it, a sufficient authority to levy upon and sell so much of the property of the sureties as will satisfy the amount for which they have made themselves liable, and shall also be a sufficient authority to the clerk to whom the same may be returned to issue an alias or pluries execution, as the case may be, against the defendant to the judgment, and against the sureties on the bond, without any judgment upon the bond.
