Upon satisfactory proof that such bond has existed, that it has been lost, destroyed, mutilated, or defaced, the purport thereof, and that it remains undischarged, the court shall award execution thereon, endorsed as though execution were issued on th e bond, if in existence. No judgment for costs shall be rendered against the defendant in the motion, unless he controverts the plaintiff's right to an execution and fails in his defense.
