Syllabus
<p>Criminal law — Costs—Liability of county — Act of May 19, 18.87.</p> <p>Under the act of May 19, 1887, P. L. 138, relating to costs in criminal cases, the county is primarily liable to pay the costs in the first instance, and then reimburse its treasury by the diligence of its officers against the parties ultimately liable.</p> <p>Where an indictment for a misdemeanor is ignored by the grand jury and the prosecutor is ordered to pay the costs, the county is immediately liable for the costs without any formal sentence being passed upon the prosecutor by the court.</p> <p>It seems that in the case of a verdict the liability of the county does not accrue until sentence has been actually passed.</p>
