If any person shall refuse or neglect to perform any lawful order, sentence or decree of a probate court, such court may issue a warrant, directed to any sheriff or constable in the State, requiring him to apprehend and imprison such person in the common jail of the county or, if there be no jail in the county, then in the jail of the adjoining county, until he shall perform such order, sentence or decree or be delivered by due course of law.
