GEORGE v. FELLOWS

The proviso of Gen. St., c. 206, s. 5, exempting sheriffs from arrest on civil process, does not apply to deputy sheriffs.

CLARK, J.

The word "sheriff," as used in the General Statutes, does not include deputies. In statutes applying to deputy sheriffs, they are generally named. Gen. St., c. 56;, ss. 3, 4, 6, 7; c. 170, s. 17; c. 194, s. 3; c. 197, ss. 6, 10, 11, 12, 17, 19, 21; c. 198, s. 7; c. 206, s. 5.

Exception overruled.

STANLEY, J., did not sit.
