Every recognizance taken in any criminal proceeding in Baltimore City shall be a lien upon the property of the recognizor mentioned in the recognizor’s application from the date of the acknowledgment of such recognizance, unless such recognizance shall have been acknowledged before a District Court Commissioner or before a court upon writ of habeas corpus, in which it shall be a lien from the time it is filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. When any recognizance is forfeited it shall become a judgment, and shall have all the effects of judgments rendered in civil causes, and may be enforced by execution by order of the State’s Attorney at any time within six years from the date of the forfeiture, and not afterwards.
