Bailiff guilty of misconduct may be prevented from acting.
27 & 28 Vict. c. 99.
|
6. In case it shall appear upon the trial of any action or proceeding that any person, whether appointed by the sheriff or nominated at the peril of the plaintiff or defendant as bailiff, has been guilty of any misconduct which, in the opinion of the chairman, ought to disqualify him from being thereafter appointed to execute decrees, the said chairman shall make an order that the sheriff of the county or city in which such person resides shall not thereafter appoint any such person as bailiff, either under the provisions of the said Civil Bill Court Procedure Amendment (Ireland) Act, 1864, or at the plaintiff or defendant's peril, to execute any decree or dismiss, and such order shall be entered by the clerk of the peace in a book to be kept by him for that purpose, and a copy thereof, signed by the clerk of the peace, shall, within one week from the date thereof, be transmitted by him to the sheriff: Provided always, that the said chairman may at any time thereafter revoke and annul the said order, but so long as it shall continue in force it shall not be lawful for the sheriff of such county or city to sign a warrant authorizing any person so disqualified to execute any decree or dismiss.
