A writ of fieri facias or other writ of execution against goods shall bind the property in the goods of the execution debtor as from the time when the writ is delivered to the court bailiff to be executed; and, for the better manifestation of such time, it shall be the duty of the bailiff without fee, upon the receipt of any such writ, to endorse upon the back thereof the hour, day, month and year when he received the same: Provided that no such writ shall prejudice the title to such goods acquired by any person in good faith and for valuable consideration, unless such person had, at the time when he acquired his title, notice that such writ or any other writ by virtue of which the goods of the execution debtor might be seized or attached has been delivered to and remained unexecuted in the hands of the bailiff.
