If any person refuses or neglects to deliver to the lawful incumbent any property or records pertaining to the office or the duties of the office, the incumbent may apply by petition to the superior court of the county in which the person resides, and the court shall proceed in a summary manner, after notice to the adverse party, to hear the petition and enter judgment thereon. The execution of the judgment and the delivery of the books and papers may be enforced by attachment, and also by a warrant directed to the sheriff or a constable of the county, commanding him to search for the books and papers, and to take and deliver them to the petitioner.
