Annotations: It is the official duty of a notary public to give notice of dishonor of paper intrusted to him and this section provides the fee therefor. Williams v. Parks, 63 Neb. 747, 89 N.W. 395 (1902), 56 L.R.A. 759 (1902). The fees paid to a notary public for presentation and protest of a negotiable instrument are incident to a recovery on the protested instrument and may be recovered as costs, but they are not part of the debt sued for and cannot be included as part of the amount in dispute when determining jurisdiction in a federal court. Baker v. Howell, 44 F. 113 (D. Neb. 1890).
