Section 46. If a trustee duly served with a summons and complaint issued under the previous section fails to appear and answer, he shall be defaulted; and if he did not answer, and was not examined in the original action, judgment shall be rendered against him upon such default for the whole amount remaining unsatisfied on the judgment against the defendant.
