The sheriff has an insurable interest in property seized in execution; but he cannot subject the execution debtor to the cost of insurance without his express consent. Cramer v. Oppenstein, 16 Colo. 495 , 27 P. 713 (1891).   Where the sheriff retains moneys above his proper fees and costs, the party entitled to the surplus may recover the same by action, and the remedy in such cases is not limited to a proceeding to retax the sheriff's fees and costs, though that course may be pursued, and though the suit may be for treble damages under this section, still, under appropriate allegations, there may be a recovery as for money had and received. Cramer v. Oppenstein, 16 Colo. 495 , 27 P. 713 (1891).   No commission. Where money, received as the proceeds of an execution sale, exceeds the amount necessary to satisfy the execution, the sheriff is not entitled to charge commissions on such excess. Cramer v.
