By whom warrants may be executed.

26. The execution of warrants so addressed to the sub-inspector or head
constable of constabulary shall be subject to the following provisions:

1.Whenever the person against whom any warrant so addressed shall have been
issued shall be to be found in case of committal, or shall have goods in case
of distress, in any place for which such sub-inspector or head constable shall
act, it shall be lawful for the sub-inspector or head constable who shall act
for the time being for such place, or for any head or other constable to be
appointed by him, to execute the same:

2.Whenever it shall appear that the said person or his goods, as the case may
be, are not to be found in any place for which such sub-inspector shall act,
but that they are to be found elsewhere in the same county, the said
sub-inspector or head constable shall certify on the warrant, according to the
form (Gb.), the place where he believes that the said person or his goods are
to be found, and also (having first satisfied himself as to the fact) that he
believes the signature to the warrant to be genuine, and shall forthwith
transmit the said warrant to the sub-inspector or head constable who shall act
for such last-mentioned place; and the same shall be executed in like manner
as any warrant addressed to him in the first instance:

3.Whenever it shall appear that the said person or his goods, as the case may
be, are not to be found in the county to which such sub-inspector or head
constable shall belong, but that such person, or his goods, as the case may
be, are to be found elsewhere out of the said county, the said sub-inspector
or head constable shall, as before, certify on the warrant, according to the
form (Gb.), and forthwith transmit the same to the inspector general of the
constabulary force, to be backed as herein-after mentioned:
