 910. Official undertakings of county clerks. Each county clerk shall
  before  entering  upon or assuming the duties of his office, give a bond
  to the people of the state  of  New  York  in  the  sum  of  twenty-five
  thousand  dollars,  with  not  less  than two sufficient sureties, to be
  approved by the comptroller of the city of New York, conditioned that he
  will faithfully discharge the  duties  of  his  office  and  all  trusts
  imposed upon him by law by virtue of his office. In case of any official
  misconduct  or  default on the part of such clerk, or in case any person
  or  corporation  is  injured  or  damaged  by  reason  of   any   error,
  inaccuracies or mistakes in a return of a search certified as correct by
  such  clerk,  an  action  upon such bonds may be begun and prosecuted to
  judgment  by  the  attorney  general,  who  shall,  after  first  paying
  therefrom  the  expenses  of  the litigation, cause the proceeds of such
  judgment to be paid over, as shall  be  lawful  and  equitable,  to  the
  person  or corporation injured or damaged by such official misconduct or
  by reason of any such error, inaccuracy or mistake in a certified return
  of a search. Such bond shall be filed in the office of  the  comptroller
  of the city of New York.
