180. Where it shall appear that the court has jurisdiction
of a case, but there is doubt as to the residence of a party
against whom process is necessary, or the same be wrongfully
alleged, several writs may be issued, as of course, to as many
counties within the State,* or requisite process concurrently to
different places without the State, or both writs and process,
within and without the State, for service upon such party; but
if any process hereunder be vexatiously or unnecessarily issued,
the court may order the costs of same to be paid by the party
asking or directing the issue of such process.
