Except where
service is made under s. 782.10 (3) , the service of a writ of
habeas corpus is not complete until the party serving the writ tenders to the custodian of the prisoner, if an officer, the fees allowed
for bringing up the prisoner, nor unless, when required by the officer, the party shall also give the officer a bond in double the
sum for which the prisoner is detained, if detained for a specific
sum of money, and if not, then in the sum of $1,000, conditioned
that the obligor will pay the charges of carrying back the prisoner
if remanded and that the prisoner will not escape, either going to
or returning from the place to which taken, and if the prisoner is
not in the custody of an officer, and the writ requires that the
charges of bringing up the prisoner shall be paid by the petitioner,
then until the charges have been tendered to the respondent.
