If the suit upon which such property was attached is decided in favor of the defendant, the money accruing from the sale of such property shall be paid to him; but, if decided in favor of the plaintiff, such money, or so much thereof as will satisfy his claim, shall be paid to him; and, if the property attached has been subject to more than one attachment, the money shall be paid to the several attaching creditors, in the same order and proportion as the proceeds would have been payable in case of sale on execution; and the court which renders final judgment in the suit may make the necessary orders therefor.
