Syllabus

<p>Sheriff — Fees—Ghargefor removal of prisoners.</p> <p>A sheriff’s charge for removal of prisoners should be strictly confined to expenses reasonably necessary; but the Supreme Court will not reverse where the sheriff was allowed a sum which appears to be liberal, and where it does not affirmatively appear from the testimony that it includes any material item which would not come under the head of necessary and proper expenses incurred by the sheriff in the discharge of his duties.</p> <p>Sheriff — Fees—Summ.oning jurors — Acts of March 12, 1866, and April 2, 1868.</p> <p>The local act of March 12, 1866, P. L. 187, relating to sheriff’s fees in Lycoming- county is repealed by the general act of April 2, 1868, P. L. 11, inasmuch as the act by its terms is applicable “ throughout this commonwealth,” and Lycoming county is not one of the six counties expressly excepted from the operation of the act.</p>
