Breaking and entering buildings to execute order of arrest

A sheriff having an order of arrest may enter any house or inclosure in which the party to be arrested may be, to arrest him; and, if necessary for this purpose, may break the house or inclosure, having informed any person therein of his object; or, if no person appear to whom such information can be given, after having publicly demanded the person to be arrested; and, in either case, after having given sufficient time for the house or inclosure to be opened.
