     625.18 Surrender of principal; new recognizance. 

    Any surety in a recognizance to keep the peace, or for good 
 behavior, or both, shall have authority and right to take and 
 surrender the principal and, upon the surrender, shall be 
 discharged and exempted from all liability for any act of the 
 principal, subsequent to the surrender, which would be a breach 
 of the condition of the recognizance.  The person so surrendered 
 may recognize anew, with sufficient sureties, before any judge, 
 for the residue of the term, and shall then be discharged.
