pertaining to the office of sheriff therein except such as relate
to the collection of taxes, levies, militia fines, and officers’ fees;

ties to be approved by the court, conditioned for the faithful
discharge of his duties, and until he shall have taken the oath
of office prescribed by law. Said crier and his deputies shall
receive the same fees as are allowed by law to sheriffs for simi-
lar services.

of Richmond shall be duly qualified.
