If the person to whom such advances have been made shall give notice in writing within ten days after such seizure, accompanied with an affidavit to the effect that the amount claimed is not justly due, then the magistrate issuing the warrant shall, at the expiration of twenty days, decide an issue which shall be made up, in which the landlord who may have made such advances shall be the actor. The costs and fees of magistrates for enforcement of agricultural liens shall be the same as for clerks of court in similar cases and constables in magistrates’ courts shall be allowed in such cases the same fees and costs allowed in like cases to sheriffs.
