258 LAWS OF MARY-LAND. [CH. 104

The Sheriff shall keep in his office a permanent record in a
book in such form as the County Commissioners shall prescribe,
in which shall be entered all costs, fees, fines or charges in all
cases to which he is lawfully entitled and the amounts collected
by him, which said book shall remain in his office after the ex-
piration of his term, and shall become a permanent record of
the Sheriff's office and shall be open to inspection at any time
by the Board of County Commissioners or any one authorized
by said Board to examine said book or books.

532B. The Sheriff of Prince George's County, when re-
quired so to do by the Chief Judge or any two Judges of the
Orphans' Court of said county, shall attend upon the said Or-
phans' Court and perform such duties as may be required of
him. All writs, summons, orders, petitions and other legal
papers directed to the Sheriff shall be served by him or by a
deputy of said Sheriff. The Sheriff shall be required to de-
vote his entire time to the duties of his office, and his failure

under what circumstances released. He shall be required to
maintain an office in the Court House at Upper Marlboro,
where either he or his deputy shall visit daily except Sundays.

dollars ($10, 000. 00), and the County Commissioners shall pay
the premium on said bond.

532E. The said Sheriff shall be liable in damages to any
person, persons or corporation who may suffer any financial
loss by reason of any unreasonable neglect of duty on the part
of the said Sheriff or his deputy and for any such loss sus-
tained by any person, persons or corporation, he, she, they or
