Section 6152. When property is taken under a warrant of dis-
ress, or under a writ of fieri facias issued by the clerk of a circuit or
corporation court, and any person, other than the party against
whom the process issued, claims such property, or the proceeds or
value thereof, the circuit court of the county, or the circuit or corpora-
tion court of the corporation, in which the property is taken, or the
judge of such court in vacation, upon the application of the officer,
where no indemnifying bond has been given, or, if one has been given,
on the application of the person who claims such property and has
piven such suspending bond as is hereinafter mentioned, or of the
party issuing such process, may cause to appear before such court as
well the party issuing such process as the party making such claim,
and such court may exercise, for the decision of their rights, all or
any of the powers and authority prescribed in the preceding section.

When property is taken under a writ of fieri facias issued on a
judgment of a trial justice, civil justice, civil and police justice, or
police justice, or is subject to the lien thereof, and such property, or
some part thereof, is claimed by some person other than the party
against whom the process issued, this section shall apply where the
property or money so claimed by such other person is of greater value
than one thousand dollars.
