Syllabus

<p>1. Costs — Statutes—Sheriff's Sales. — The right to costs rests upon statute, but two apparently inconsistent statutes of the same date should be so construed as to give effect to both; and so construing sections 746 and 2561 of 1 Revised Statutes, the sheriff is entitled to only two dollars when selling land as a mere auctioneer under decree of the court, but when he is the selling officer and disburses the proceeds, he is entitled to the same costs and commissions as are allowed to him when selling under execution.</p>
