 or arrest or apprehend offenders against criminal law who shall receive from a defendant or
 from any other person any money or other valuable thing or any service or promise to pay or
 give money or to perform or omit to perform any act as a consideration, reward, or
 inducement, for omitting or delaying to arrest any defendant, or to carry him or her before a
 magistrate, or for delaying to take any person to prison, or for postponing the sale of any
 property under an execution, or for omitting or delaying to perform any duty pertaining to his

 punished by any fine or by any term of imprisonment or both a fine and imprisonment, within
 the limits fixed by the statute that the defendant is charged with having violated.
