  1. Judiciary Law
  2. Article 20. Collection of Fines

§ 791. Issue and contents of warrant. The clerk must immediately issue

a warrant, under the seal of the court, directed to the sheriff of the

county, and commanding him to collect from each of the persons named in

the schedule annexed to the warrant, the sum therein set opposite that

person's name; and to pay over the sum collected to the treasurer of the

county. The clerk must include in the said annexed schedule the name of

each person who has been fined, prior to the issuing thereof, and whose

fine remains then wholly or partly unpaid, and not remitted by the

court. The warrant is the process of the court, by which the fines were

imposed. If a delinquent resides in another county, a separate warrant,

for the collection of the fine imposed upon him, with an appropriate

schedule annexed thereto, must be issued, in like manner, to the sheriff

of the county where he resides.
