§ 28-26-30 — Judgment against surety

After final judgment has been rendered in an action in which surety for costs has been given
as required by this chapter, the court, on motion of the defendant, or any other person having a
right to such costs or any part thereof, after ten days' notice of such motion, may enter judgment
in the name of the defendant or the defendant's legal representatives against the surety for
costs, or against the defendant's executors or administrators, for the amount of the costs
adjudged against the plaintiff, or so much thereof as may be unpaid. Execution may be issued
on such judgment as in other cases for the use and benefit of the person entitled to such costs.
