Because the notices containing the trial date were not served personally by a court officer or constable as required by s 181(3), and no competent proof of such service was produced as required by s 181(4), the District Court Judge correctly declined to issue warrants under the empowering statute; strict compliance with the statutory prerequisites was required before exercising the power to issue arrest warrants.
