4 Month. L. Bul. 7.

17 Hun, 232.

Bul. 7.

§ 593. [Am'd 1877.] For the purpose of surrendering the defendant, the bail, at any place or at any time before they are finally charged, may themselves arrest him, or, by a written authority, endorsed on a certified copy of the undertaking, may empower another person to do so. And one or more of the bail may thus arrest and surrender the defendant, although the others do not join with him or them, for that purpose.

594. Where the defendant surrenders himself in exoneration of his bail, he must present himself to the sheriff, and require the sheriff, in writing, to take him into custody, in exoneration of his bail. The sheriff must detain him accordingly, as prescribed in subdivision second of section five hundred and ninety-two of this act; and, if requested by the bail, at any time after the surrender, the sheriff must, by a certificate in writing, acknowledge the surrender. An order for the exoneration of the bail may be procured, as prescribed in section five hundred and ninety-two of this act.

$595. Where the sheriff is liable as bail, he has all the rights and privileges, and is subject to all the duties and liabilities of bail; and bail given by him, in order to discharge himself from liability, must be regarded as the bail of the defendant in the action. But this section does not apply to an action to recover a chattel; or to a case where a defence arises to an action against the bail, in consequence of an act or omission of the sheriff.

§ 596. In case of failure to comply with the undertaking, the bail may be proceeded against by action, and not otherwise.

§ 597. An action may be brought, as prescribed in the 4 Month. L. last section, in a case where the order of arrest could be granted only by the court, at any time after the bail have failed to comply with their undertaking. Where the undertaking was given in an action to recover a chattel, an action may be brought thereupon, at any time after the return, wholly or partly unsatisfied, of an execution for the delivery of the possesion of the chattel, with respect to which the order of arrest was granted. In any other case, in action cannot be brought, as prescribed in the last section, until the following requisites have been complied with:

1. An execution, against the property of the defendant, must have been issued to the sheriff of the county in which he was arrested, and returned by that sheriff, wholly or partly unsatisfied.

2. An execution, against the person of the de endant, must have been issued to the same sheriff, and by him returned, not less than fifteen days after its receipt, to the effect that the defendant could not be found within his county.

§ 598. [Am'd 1877.] The sheriff must diligently endeavor 88 N.Y. 611. to enforce an execution issued and delivered to him, as prescribed in the last section, notwithstanding any direction he may receive from the plaintiff, or his attorney.

88 N. Y. 611.

40 N. Y. Super. Ct. (J. & S.) 206.

$599. [Am'd 1877.] In an action against bail, i va defence, that an execution, against the property, or ag ist the person, of the defendant in the original action, was not .ssued, as prescribed in section five hundred and ninety-seven of this act; or that it was not issued in sufficient time to enable the sheriff to enforce it; or that a direction was given, or other

fraudulent or collusive means were used, by the plaintiff or his attorney, to prevent the service thereof."

$600. If the defendant in the orignal action, after his discharge upon bail, is imprisoned, either within or without the State, upon a criminal charge, or a conviction of a criminal offence, the court, in which an action against the bail is pending, may, before the expiration of the time to answer, and upon notice to the adverse party, make such an order for the relief of the bail, as justice requires.

$601. [Am'd 1877.] Except in an action to recover a chattel, the bail must be exonerated where either of the following events occurs, before the expiration of the time to answer in an action against them :

1. The death of the original defendant.

2. His legal discharge from the obligation to render himself amenable to the process, direction, or proceedings, with respect to which the undertaking of the bail was made.

3. His surrender to the sheriff of the county where he was arrested, as prescribed in this article.

Where either event occurs, after the commencement of the action against the bail, the court may, in its discretion, impose the payment of the plaintiff's costs and expenses, incurred after the return of the execution against the person, as a condition of allowing the exoneration. And the court may, by an order, made upon notice to the adverse party, grant such further time as it deems just, after answer, for the surrender of the original defendant. In that case, his surrender, within the time so granted, has the same effect, as if it had been made before answer.
