If the officer should willfully neglect his duty in this respect, he would doubtless render himself liable to be punished criminally. And should any person having charge of such process, misconduct himself by keeping it back, to be afterwards made use of for vexatious or improper purposes, he may subject himself to an action for a malicious prosecution, at the suit of the party aggrieved.2 (1) 1 Nun. & Walsh, 203.
