After deducting from such money a commission of 10 percent and his necessary expenses and costs, including reasonable fees to sheriff’s counsel, he shall pay the net proceeds, and he and his sureties and their representatives shall be liable therefor, in like manner as if the same had been made under a writ of fieri facias on the judgment.
