Dear Sir-1n answer to the question submitted
| by your committee in behalf of the County
commissioners of Nolusia County in your let
terof November 9th, we would say: First IL
our opinion the sheriff is not entitled to an
allowance for horse-hire for the service o.
subpnnas for Witnesses, or aIresting defend
ants OF prisoners under process. The allow
ance for mileage being five cents Il mile fol
the distance from the courthouse to the res
idence OF the person served, and return, is the
only allowance other than special fees for ser
vice OF process, and to which the sheriff is en-
titled under the statute. The rule is the same
as to constables. Second, There is no dis
tinction as to the mode of travel. The sheriff
is entitled to his mileage and no more
whether he walks, goes on horseback. OF
aVais himself of the more rapid and conven.
lent conveyance by steamer or rail. Third
In the case OF an escaped prisoner appre-
hended i'll a different county, in order TO aul-
thorize any person other than himself to take
charge OF such prisoner and bring HIM from
the place where heis held in custody to the
county site OF your county, such person must
be regularly or specially deputlzed by the
sheriff. 1t is the official duty and act OF the
sheriff which can only be performed by him
self or some one else clothed with the author
iIy vested in him by law. If the sheriff or
person SO deputized employs no guard and is
subjected 10 no unusual expense or delays in
the matter, he is entitled TO mileage for con
veylng the prisoner TO jail, ten cents per mile
for the distance the prisoner is conveyed, and
the fees tor commitment, ETC., and no more.
For guard, the feeding and transportation
, of the prisoner and other necessary and act
ual expenses incurred, other than The sheriffs
personal service in removing and committing
the prisoner, such allowance may be madeas
the Judge or justice from whose court the pro-
