§ 2417. Bond of marshal. 1. No marshal shall be permitted to enter upon the duties of his office until he shall have given a bond as herein prescribed. The bond shall be executed by the marshal with a fidelity or surety company duly authorized by law to act as surety or with two sufficient sureties, who shall be residents of the county and each of whom shall be the owner of real estate therein of the value of double the penalty of the bond, which shall be in such sum as the board of supervisors shall prescribe but not less than three thousand dollars. The bond shall provide that the marshal and the surety or sureties shall jointly and severally answer to the county and any persons that may complain, for the true and faithful execution by such marshal of the duties of his office. The bond shall be submitted for approval to a judge of the court in the district in which the marshal was appointed; and such judge shall have power to require that the surety or sureties justify before him within five days after the bond shall have been submitted, and shall approve or reject the bond within five days thereafter. When so approved, the bond shall be filed with the county clerk of the county.

2. The bond must be executed, approved and filed within thirty days after the appointment of the marshal or he shall be deemed to have declined his appointment and another person shall be appointed in his place.
