## Text
Upon an order of a judge of a court, or, in his absence and upon the clerks own initiative, the clerk shall issue a warrant for the attachment of the property belonging to the person specified in the affidavit. The marshal shall execute the warrant forthwith and take the property attached, if personal, in his custody, subject to the interlocutory or final orders of the court.

## Notes
Editorial Notes
Codification Section was derived from R.S. § 926, which was originally classified to section 739 of former Title 28. Following the general revision and enactment of Title 28 by act June 25, 1948, R.S. § 926 was reclassified to section 839 of Title 39. R.S. § 926 was repealed by section 12(c) of Pub. L. 86682 (section 1 of which revised and enacted Title 39), and reenacted by section 9 thereof as section 2712 of this title.
