§5588. Sheriff entitled to security; refusal to act in absence of security or advancement
The sheriff may demand security for his costs and actual expenses, or he may demand a deposit to cover his costs, but in all cases any party requiring the official services to be performed by the sheriff may advance the fees for such services. The sheriff shall perform the same so far as the advance may go. In case the party interested in having the official services performed fails to secure or advance the fees as above provided, the sheriff shall not be required to perform the services, but shall notify the party and return the process into court, with the reason therefor, and his failing so to do shall render him liable for any damage that may result to the party from the failure to perform the services.
