<p>CHANCERY Clerk. . Fees. Ex officio allowance.</p> <p>Under tbe Code of 1857, the clerks of the Chancery Courts were not entitled to any allowance for ex officio services in such courts; and the only extra allowance which the Code of 1871 authorized to be made to chancery clerks was for' services as clerks of the boards of supervisors. The act of March 6, 1875, revising the fees of officers, omitted this allowance for services to the boards-of supervisors; and the act of July 31, 1875, which provided that “clerks of the Chancery Courts shall receive the same eompensation for ex officio services-as was allowed prior to 1st of January, 1875,” only revived the right of such clerks to receive the allowance from the boards of supervisors, authorized by-sect. 1361 of the Code of 1871.</p>
