Refusal to cause satisfaction to be entered within ten days after such payment, tender, or demand shall render the party so refusing liable in a civil action, to any person interested, for $25 as liquidated damages if the lien was claimed upon real estate; otherwise, $10; and in either case for any further damages which the plaintiff may have suffered therefrom.
