Syllabus

<p>Pees and salaries—duties of clerics—and fees for entmng suits for trial. The statute makes it the duty of the clerks of the Circuit Courts to prepare and keep a docket of all causes pending in their respective courts, in which shall be entered the names of the parties, the cause of action, and name of the plaintiff’s attorney; and to furnish the judge and the bar, at each term, with a copy of the same; and provides, that for this labor the clerk shall be entitled to a fee of ten cents for entering each suit on the docket for trial. The Circuit Court overruled a motion to retax a bill of costs, charging ten cents each for entering a cause on the docket of the judge, the bar, and the clerk— held, that only one charge of ten cents can be made for docketing each cause on the trial docket, and that no charge can be made for entering a cause on the copies for the judge and the bar.</p>
