The defendant may, within 2 days after the service of the writ and the undertaking, give notice to the sheriff that the defendant excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. If the defendant fails to do so, the defendant shall be deemed to have waived all objection to them. When the defendant excepts, the sureties shall justify on notice in like manner as upon bail on arrest; and the sheriff shall be responsible for the sufficiency of the sureties until the objection to them is either waived, as above provided, or until they justify. If the defendant excepts to the sureties the defendant cannot reclaim the property, as provided in NRS 31.890.
