      (a)      A sheriff shall collect the fees of a clerk, register, attorney, or other officer when requested to do so.

      (b)      A sheriff is answerable for all penalties imposed on an inhabitant of his county by a court of the State unless he shows that the person liable for the penalty is insolvent.
