When, on a contest of a claim of exemption to personal property, an inventory filed by the defendant on the plaintiff's demand discloses other personal property owned by the defendant and subject to sale under process not embraced in the claim of exemption, the defendant, at the time of filing the inventory, shall deliver such property to the officer making the levy, who shall, whether he has returned the process or not, in case of an execution sell the property as in other cases and apply the proceeds to the satisfaction of the execution or, in case of an attachment or other mesne process, shall hold the property to await the final determination of the action. In either event, he shall make due return of the facts to the court.
