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.
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.
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.
