Process regular on face, when.-An officer whose duty it is to serve process is bound to serve it if regular on its face;

process is said to be regular on its face when it proceeds from a court, officer or body having authority of law to issue process of that nature, and when it is legal in form

and contains nothing to notify or fairly apprise any one that it is issued without authority.-Pankewicz v. Jess, 27 Cal. App. 340, 149 Pac. 997.

2. When lack of authority is apparent, an officer is not only justified but it is his duty not to serve the illegal process, and the only ground, therefore, upon which an action can be predicated against an officer for executing process is where the lack of authority for its issuance is apparent on its face.-Pankewicz v. Jess, 27 Cal. App. 340, 149 Pac. 997.

1. Construction.-The word "process" as used in section 4171 of the Political Code, declaring that when any process remains with the sheriff unexecuted, in whole or in part, at the expiration of his terms of office, said process shall be executed by his successor or successors in office, includes the proceedings which authorize a sheriff to take property in claim and delivery.-In re Baker, 32 Cal. App. 320, 162 Pac. 922.

3. Under the provision of section 4171 of the Political Code, which declares that when any process remains with the sheriff unexecuted, in whole or in part, at the expiration of his term of office, such process shall be executed by his successor or successors in office, a sheriff, whose term of office has expired, can not be compelled by mandamus to take into his possession and deliver to the plaintiff in such proceeding certain personal property which had been taken by him into his possession while he was sheriff in a claim and delivery action, and which he had redelivered to the defendant in such action under a redelivery bond.-In re Baker. 32 Cal. App. 320, 162 Pac. 922.
