A writ of fieri facias or execution shall create a lien, from the time it is delivered to the
sheriff or other officer to be executed, upon all of the personal property, or the estate or
interest therein, owned by the judgment debtor at the time of such delivery of the writ, or
which he may acquire on or before the return day thereof, although such property was not
levied on or capable of being levied on under the provisions of section six ofe this article.
Such lien shall continue beyond the return day of the execution, whether the writ was levied
or not, but shall cease whenever the right of the judgment creditor to lervy the writ under
which such lien arose, or to levy a new writ, ceases, under the provisions of section eighteen,
article three of this chapter, or when such right is suspended by a forthcoming bond being
given or forfeited, or by an appeal or otherwise. The lien created by this section shall be
subject to the provisions of sections nine and ten of this artictle.
