When a person is adjudged a trustee on account of personal property in his or her hands, and the same is destroyed without his or her negligence or default after the judgment and before demand therefor by the officer holding the execution, the trustee shall be discharged from liability to the plaintiff for not delivering the same. When a suit is commenced against him or her for not delivering the property, the destruction shall constitute a defense.
