A collector who unlawfully neglects to collect and pay over a tax delivered to him or her shall be accountable for such tax or the arrearages thereof to the treasurer, selectboard, trustees, committees, or other persons authorized to receive the same. Such persons may, and, upon the receipt of a petition from the Director alleging that such collector has unlawfully neglected to collect and pay over a tax delivered to him or her, shall cite him or her to appear before a justice residing in an adjoining town, to show cause why an extent should not be issued against him or her for such arrearages and the costs of such proceedings. Such citation shall be served at least six days before the time appointed for hearing the same.
