Every person injured by the breach of the condition of any public recognizance or bond may, in the name of the State, but for such person's own use, institute an action upon such recognizance or bond, and prosecute the same to judgment and execution. Such person may employ an attorney of the court wherein the action is brought, who may, in the complaint and other pleadings, use his or her own name, instead of the name of the Attorney General.
