When a paper in a judicial proceeding is directed to a prisoner in the custody of a sheriff and is served upon the sheriff, he shall forthwith deliver it to the prisoner with a notation thereon of the time of service. If the sheriff neglects to do so he is liable to the prisoner for damages occasioned thereby.
