Deposits made with the City Clerk as required by Section 873.03 shall be subject to claims of creditors and claims for local license fees on behalf of any city, village or township in all cases where a judgment has been obtained against such transient merchant in any court in this state and the time for appealing such judgment has expired. In such cases garnishment proceedings may be commenced in such court against said City Clerk. It shall thereupon be the duty of the City Clerk to remit to any such court any balance of said cash deposit remaining in his or her hands not exceeding the amount of said judgment, for the purpose of satisfying the same. Any balance of said cash deposit remaining in the hands of the City Clerk four (4) months after the expiration of said license shall be remitted to such transient merchant, provided if, at such date, the City Clerk shall have received notice of any suit then pending against said transient merchant, said deposit shall not be returned until sixty (60) days after the termination of such suit.
