Syllabus

<p>1. County—not liable for jury fees in city courts. The fees of grand and petit jurors for services in city courts are not made a charge upon the county treasury, but they are required to be paid out of the treasuries of cities in which such courts are held.</p> <p>2. Statute construed—as to payment of jury fees. Section 44 of the act concerning Fees and Salaries, which requires the payment of the fees of grand and petit jurors for services in attending “ courts of record, including county courts when doing probate business,” does not repeal sec. 209 of the chapter entitled “Courts,” which requires that the fees of jurors of city courts shall be paid out of the city treasury, etc. In enacting the first named section, the General Assembly were legislating as to the circuit courts and the Superior Court of Cook county, and not as to city courts.</p>
