The judge may require the plaintiff to give and file another bond, to be approved by him, in such sum as he may deem proper, not exceeding the appraised value of the property attached. The surety shall justify as provided in § 21-17A-7, but if there is more than one surety they may be accepted if they are jointly responsible for the required sum.
