Liability of sureties on bonds conditionally executed.

A surety on an official bond or on a bond intended as an official bond cannot avoid liability thereon on the ground that he signed or delivered it on condition that it should not be delivered to the proper officer or should not become perfect unless it was executed by some other person who does not execute it.

The provisions of this section shall apply to bonds of state, county, municipal and public corporate officers; to bonds of executors, administrators, guardians, receivers, assignees, and other trustees, and to all bonds and undertakings executed in the commencement or progress of any suit or judicial proceeding, civil or criminal.
