898.31 When suit against sheriff stayed. In case the party at whose suit any person shall have been confined to the liberties of a jail shall refuse or neglect to take an assignment of the bond executed by such person, as hereinbefore provided, and shall prosecute any sheriff for the escape of such person the court in which such action shall be pending shall, by order, stay all the proceedings upon the judgment against such sheriff until the sheriff shall have had a reasonable time to prosecute the bond taken by the sheriff and to collect the amount of any judgment the sheriff may recover thereon. But this section shall not authorize such stay of proceedings in any action where the judgment shall have been recovered against any sheriff for any escape committed with the assent, aid or assistance of such sheriff.
