Section 794. Proceedings if fine not collected

Where it appears, by the
  return, that a fine remains uncollected, and it does not appear that the
  sheriff has the delinquent in custody, the district attorney must, if he
  has good reason to believe that the sheriff might, with  due  diligence,
  have  collected  the  fine,  or  arrested  and  detained the delinquent,
  commence an action against the sheriff,  in  the  name  of  the  people.
  Otherwise he must direct the clerk to issue a new warrant, or to include
  the  fine  in the schedule, annexed to the next warrant, to be issued by
  him. A new warrant may, from time to time, be issued, or the fine may be
  included in the schedule annexed to a subsequent warrant,  until  it  is
  collected.
