Subrogation
Sec. 10. Whenever any person has been compelled to pay to any
prosecuting attorney, clerk of the court, or sheriff, under mere color
of judicial proceedings in attachment or garnishment at the suit of the
state, the amount of any forfeited recognizance, such person so
paying shall, from the date of such payment, be subrogated as against
the recognizors in such recognizance, to all the rights of the state
under such recognizance, and shall have a cause of action against
such recognizors for the amount so paid, as if such recognizance and
all the rights of the state under the same had been assigned by the
state to the person or persons so paying, at the date of such payment.
As added by P.L.5-1988, SEC.180.
