Whenever a bond for costs or supersedeas bond is given with one or more corporate or individual sureties, each surety thereon submits himself to the jurisdiction of the circuit court and irrevocably appoints the clerk of the circuit court as his agent upon whom any papers affecting his liability on the bond may be served. His or its liability may be enforced on motion in the circuit court without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such notice of motion as the circuit court shall prescribe shall be served on the clerk of the circuit court, who shall forthwith mail copies to the sureties at their last known address.
