Within three days after the execution of the undertaking of the bail the marshal having the defendant in custody shall deliver to the plaintiff or his attorney, or such other person as the plaintiff may direct, a certified copy of the undertaking, with the date of the arrest indorsed thereon. In any other case the marshal may mail such copy within the same time to the plaintiff or his attorney, within the Virgin Islands, or to either of them as the plaintiff may direct. The plaintiff, within ten days from the delivery of such copy, or fifteen days from the mailing of the same, if sent by mail, may serve upon the marshal for the defendant in custody a notice that he does not accept the bail, or he shall be deemed to have accepted it, and the marshal shall be exonerated from liability. If no notice be served within ten days, the original undertaking shall be filed with the court where the action is pending.
