The city sheriff shall attend the terms of the corporation
court of said city and shall act as the officer thereof; the
said sheriff may appoint one or more deputies, who may be removed
from office by the sheriff, and may discharge any of
the duties of the office of sheriff, but the sheriff and his sureties
shall be liable therefor. The city sheriff shall also have all
power and authority and perform all duties imposed by general
law upon sheriffs and constables of cities. (1972, c. 184.)
