(1)Constables may execute warrants where specifically authorized by statute, and

summons, subpoenas, attachments, notices, rules and orders of court in all criminal,

penal, and civil cases, and shall return all process placed in his or her hands to the

courts or persons issuing them, on or before the return day, noting the time of

execution on them.

(2)A constable may exercise the duties of his or her office in any part of the county,

but shall not execute any process in which he or she is personally interested except

fee-bills for his or her own service. He or she shall not levy on or sell land, or any

interest therein.

(3)The constable shall not be compelled to receive a precept, fee-bill or order for

witness attendance, or other claim against any person who is known to be and to

reside out of his or her district, unless the precept is in behalf of the Commonwealth

or is a precept against property in his or her district. But if a constable voluntarily

receives such precept, fee-bill, order for witness attendance or other claim, the

constable and his or her sureties shall be accountable for the same as if the person it

is against resided or was in his or her district, or had property therein.
