One who receipts for property taken by the sheriff; one to whom property is delivered for storage or safekeeping, subject to a bond to produce it when litigation concludes.

Examples

“The receiptor of property received from the sheriff assumes the relationship of bailee toward the officer and the possession of the receiptor is that of the sheriff.
