 614.  Obtaining  possession  of  pleadings,  et  cetera,  in actions
  against which attorneys' liens are asserted. When the superintendent  is
  in  possession  of  any  banking  organization, and attorneys' liens are
  asserted by attorneys of such banking organization against any causes of
  action to which  such  banking  organization  is  a  party,  or  against
  pleadings  or  other papers in the possession of such attorneys relating
  to such causes of action, or if such  liens  are  asserted  against  any
  evidences  of  title  to any assets or against any of the assets of such
  banking organization then in  the  possession  of  such  attorneys,  the
  superintendent  may institute special proceedings and petition the court
  to fix and determine the amount of such liens. Such proceedings shall be
  instituted in the county in which the principal office of  such  banking
  organization is located. Upon application of the superintendent and upon
  notice to such attorneys to be prescribed by the court, the court may by
  order  prior  to final order in such proceeding direct such attorneys to
  deliver to the superintendent all property of such banking organization,
  against which such liens are asserted, together with  such  consents  to
  substitution   of   attorneys   as   the  court  may  direct,  upon  the
  superintendent furnishing security to such attorneys in the  manner  and
  to an amount that may be fixed by the court.
