  2. Article 20. Collection of Fines

§ 793. Return of warrant. The sheriff must return the warrant, with

his proceeding thereupon, at the term of the court; or, where the fine

was imposed, in any county except New York, by the supreme court, or the

county court at the term of the county court; held next after the

expiration of sixty days from the receipt thereof. If he fails to do so,

the district attorney must take the same proceedings to compel a return,

as may be taken by a judgment creditor, where a sheriff omits to return

an execution, issued out of the supreme court.
