  • 1. The marshals shall  be  the  enforcement  officers  of  the
      court.  The authority of a marshal extends throughout the county and all
      provisions of law relating to the  powers,  duties  and  liabilities  of
      sheriffs  in  like cases and in respect to the taking and restitution of
      property, shall apply to marshals. Every marshal shall keep a record  of
      his official acts in such manner as shall be prescribed by the appellate
      division.   Such records shall show, in addition to the official acts of
      the marshal, all fees and sums received by  the  marshal  therefor,  the
      expenses  of  the  marshal  in  connection  with  the performance of his
      official duties and his gross  and  net  income  as  such  marshal.  The
      records  of  every  marshal shall be open to inspection by the appellate
      division and such officers and employees of the court, or other persons,
      agencies or officials, as may be designated by the appellate division.
        2. A marshal shall be entitled to such fees as may be provided by  the
      uniform  district  court  act.  All  fees  paid  on  account of services
      performed by him shall be the property of the county and shall  be  paid
      to  the  court  clerk  daily  and by him paid to the county treasurer as
      hereinbefore provided in the case of all other county officers.
        3. A marshal of the district court  shall  be  a  peace  officer.  All
      monies  other  than  marshal's  fees  received  by the marshal or by the
      sheriff in relation to the business of said courts which the  county  is
      entitled  to  receive shall be paid to the county treasurer and a report
      thereof shall be filed with the clerk of said courts.
        4. A marshal of the district court shall serve  all  criminal  process
      issued  out  of the court whenever directed by statute, rule or order so
      to do and whenever he is requested so to do by a judge of the court, and
      he shall perform such other  duties  as  any  judge  of  the  court  may
      require.  The  marshal  shall  receive  no  fees or compensation for the
      service of any criminal process issued out of the court.
        5. A deputy marshal of the district court shall have all the powers of
      a marshal and be subject to all the duties and liabilities of a  marshal
      and  shall  give  a bond in the same manner as a marshal before entering
      upon the duties of this office and all the provisions of this act and of
      the uniform district court  act  relating  to  marshals,  their  powers,
      duties and liabilities, shall be deemed to apply with the same force and
      effect to deputy marshals.
