Civil Bill Courts Procedure Amendment Act (Ireland) 1864

Form of warrant for execution of decree.

10. The warrant to be added to all civil bill decrees shall, instead of the form to a special bailiff of the plaintiff's nomination as heretofore used, be in the form following, or as near thereto as may be :

“County of to wit.

I authorize and empower A.B., of , and C.D., of          ,

bailiffs, or either of them, and their assistants, to execute the above decree.

“Given under my hand and seal, this      day of      , 186   .

L.M., sheriff of the said county.

“The sum to be levied hereunder is £.

L.M., sheriff.”

And such warrants shall not be addressed to any other persons than the bailiffs to be appointed by the sheriffs in pursuance of this Act: Provided, that such warrant, if duly signed by the then sheriff, shall, whilst such decree shall remain in force, be a sufficient authority for the execution of the same, not withstanding that such sheriff may have died or been removed from office, and that such warrant shall not have been signed by his successor; but no such warrant shall be in force after the dismissal or suspension of the bailiff to whom same is directed, but such dismissal or suspension shall be a revocation of such warrant.
