Proceedings against bailiffs etc.

30. Proceedings against bailiffs etc.



(1) In every proceeding against a bailiff or any officer servant or agent of
such bailiff or against the keeper of any gaol for anything done by such
bailiff or by his command or authority or by such keeper in obedience to any
warrant or other process issued under this Act, it shall be sufficient
justification for such bailiff officer servant or agent or for such keeper to
plead that he acted under such warrant or other process alone, without
alleging that the same was made and issued within the jurisdiction of the
court and without alleging or setting forth the judgment or previous
proceedings in the same manner as the sheriff can and may justify under any
writ issued out of the Supreme Court.

(2) In any such case proof of the matters so pleaded shall be sufficient
evidence in support of such plea.
