Excerpt from Constables' Guide: Containing a Full Exposition of Their Rights, Privileges, Duties and Liabilities, Giving the Statutes, Both Civil and Criminal of the State of New York, With Annotations, Decisions, Explanatory Notes, Forms, and a Digest of Their FeesThe intent of this Manual is to furnish a hand book and guide for all constables, giving their powers, duties and liabilities and each step to be taken in the performance of their Official duties. The statutes, both civil and criminal, of the State of New York, relating thereto, are given as amended to date of publication, together with annotations, including decisions of the court and explanatory notes.A special chapter treats of Official neglect and misconduct of constables, and the subjects of proper service of papers and levying and selling under execution have been treated fully and with especial attention.All the fees Of constables, both civil and criminal, and all forms which will be of use to them are also given.It has been deemed advisable also, where a section Of the law contains material relating to others than constables, to give only such portion of the section which bears upon con stables, so as not to enlarge the book with extraneous matter and to simplify the reading of the law for the constable as much as possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
