If, by reason of negligence or delay of the clerk, register or probate judge, the record on appeal is not delivered to the clerk of the appellate court in time to be filed or if the record on appeal is so defective that the appellate court cannot proceed thereon, the clerk, register or probate judge forfeits to the party aggrieved the sum of $200.00 and is further liable to him, in an action on the case, for all damages sustained by his neglect or delay.
