  2. Title 12

Whenever a peremptory mandamus is directed to any public

officer, body or board, commanding the performance of any public

duty specially enjoined by law, if it appear to the court that such

officer, or any member of such body or board, has, without just

excuse, refused or neglected to perform the duty so enjoined, the

court may impose a fine, not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00), upon every such officer or members of such body or board.

Such fine, when collected, shall be paid into the treasury of the

county where the duty ought to have been performed; and the payment

thereof is a bar to an action for any penalty incurred by such

officer or member of such body or board, by reason of his refusal or

neglect to perform the duty so enjoined.
