11 Sheriff giving up property when defendant bankrupt entitled to certificate and payment

In every case in which, under the law relating to bankruptcy, the Sheriff gives up possession of goods or lands which have been taken by him in execution to the trustee of the estate and effects of any defendant adjudged a bankrupt, the Sheriff shall be entitled to receive from the Registrar of the Supreme Court, and the Registrar shall grant to him, a certificate under his hand, setting forth therein how much money, if any, might lawfully have been levied and made of such goods and lands for the expenses of execution if the same goods and lands had been sold thereunder; and such Registrar shall include in such certificate the cost of suing out such writ of execution as part of the expenses of the execution; and, upon production of the said certificate to the trustee of the estate of the defendant so adjudged a bankrupt, such trustee shall, out of the moneys then in his hands or which shall first come to his hands out of such estate, pay to the Sheriff the amount of moneys specified in such certificate, and what shall be so paid by every such trustee shall be allowed in his accounts.
