A certified copy of such order\nshall be filed in the county clerk's office with a certified copy of the\nundertaking and thereupon the said clerk shall docket the same in the\nbook kept by the clerk for the docketing of judgments, as if the same\nwas a transcript of a judgment directed for the amount of such sum in\ndefault. The certified copy of the undertaking and of the order shall be\nthe judgment record. Such judgment shall be a lien on all of the real\nestate and collectible out of the real and personal property of the\nsurety. An execution may be issued to collect the amount thereof in the\nsame manner as upon a judgment recovered in any court of record.\n
