Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
By the Court :
By the statute (Sec. 2,803 Hitt. Gen. Laws) the Sheriff is allowed certain designated fees, and he is also allowed “such further compensation for his trouble and expense in taking possession of property under an attachment or execution, or other process, and preserving the same as the Court from which the writ or order may issue shall certify to be just and reasonable.” We think that in the absence of the required certificate, the Sheriff is entitled to nothing more than the fees enumerated in the statute, and cannot legally claim the “further compensation” sought to be recovered in this action.
Judgment and order affirmed*
