SECTION 793
Return of warrant
Judiciary (JUD) CHAPTER 30, ARTICLE 20
ยง 793. Return of warrant. The sheriff must return the warrant, with
his proceeding thereupon, at the term of the court; or, where the fine
was imposed, in any county except New York, by the supreme court, or the
county court at the term of the county court; held next after the
expiration of sixty days from the receipt thereof. If he fails to do so,
the district attorney must take the same proceedings to compel a return,
as may be taken by a judgment creditor, where a sheriff omits to return
an execution, issued out of the supreme court.
