§ 33-119. Sheriffs and constables; fees for serving process.
No sheriff or constable shall be entitled to receive on mesne or final process any fees provided for in section 33-117, unless he shall return upon the process, upon which any charge shall be made, the particular items of such charge.

This section does not apply to a sheriff's fee for care, preservation, and custody of attached property because the statute provided compensation for officers serving orders of attachment does not provide compensation for such services. Reed v. Smith, 25 Neb. 64, 40 N.W. 591 (1888).
