After such a return, the party in  whose   favor the execution was issued, may maintain an action, as follows:1.    Where  he  was  the  plaintiff, or a defendant recovering upon a   counterclaim, he may maintain an  action  against  the  members  of  the   association,  or, in a proper case, against any of them, as if the first   action had not been brought, or the counterclaim had not been  made,  as   the  case  requires; and he may recover therein, as part of his damages,   the costs of the first action, or so much thereof, as the sum, collected   by virtue of the execution, was insufficient to satisfy.2.  Where he was a defendant, and the case is not  within  subdivision   first  of  this  section,  he may maintain an action, to recover the sum   remaining uncollected, against the persons who composed the association,   when the action against him was commenced, or the survivors of them.But this section does not affect the right of  the  person,  in  whose   favor  the  judgment in the first action was rendered, to enforce a bond   or undertaking, given in the course of the proceedings therein.  Section   eleven of this chapter applies to an action brought,  as  prescribed  in   this  section against the members of any association, which keeps a book   for the entry of changes in the membership of the  association,  or  the   ownership of its property; and to each book so kept.
