Sec. 3. At the time set therefor, whether the officer complained against appear or not, upon being satisfied of the legal service of such process, such judge shall hear and determine such complaint; and if he decide against the same, he shall dismiss it at the costs of the petitioner, unless such petitioner be such clerk, in which case he shall dismiss it without costs; but if he decide that such bond has become insufficient by the removal of the sureties, or that they are unable to discharge the penalty thereof, or that such penalty is inadequate to secure the official liabilities of such officer, such judge shall require a new bond, with sufficient additional sureties to his approval, to be executed and filed by such officer with him within ten (10) days thereafter, and tax the costs of such proceedings against him.
Formerly: Acts 1852, 1RS, c.12, s.3.
