If a new bond is not given on the day named in the notice or fixed by the court,
the party moved against shall, if he is an officer, be at once removed from
office. If he is not an officer his powers shall be revoked and he shall be
deprived of all right further to act in discharge of the duties or functions of the
trust, post or employment. The court shall make all needful orders for the
protection of the surety and for the benefit of the estate or trust which had been
confided to the principal.
If a new bond is not given within thirty (30) days after the day named in the
notice the surety shall be automatically released from all further liability and
shall not be responsible for any acts of default of the principal thereafter done,
notwithstanding a failure to remove the principal from office or to revoke his
powers.
If the notice and motion is made by a surety on a bond for costs and a new
bond is not executed within the time fixed by the court, the action shall be
dismissed. If a new bond is executed, the liability of the former surety shall
cease upon its execution.
