Opinion

By the Court.

Lumpkin, J.,

delivering the opinion.

If the Clerk is not entitled to the fee claimed by statute, and we know of none, it is clear that it was not competent for the Judges in convention, to enact such a fee. Be this, however, as it may, the fee, if due, is, in the language of the law, “Court cost;” none of which can be claimed till the end of the case. This fee is exacted in advance of the service to be rendered.
