Code Civ. Pro., § 3283.

5 Code Civ. Pro., § 3284, relating to the fees of the clerks of court of common pleas of the city and county of New York, and of the New York superior court and the city court of Brooklyn, was repealed by L. 1895, c. 946, § 2.

11 For searches, etc., required by certain officers. Each of the following officers, to wit: the secretary of state, the comptroller, the treasurer, the attorneygeneral, and the state engineer and surveyor, may require search to be made, in the office of either of the others, or of a county clerk, or of the clerk of a court of record, for any record, document, or paper, where he deems it necessary for the discharge of his official duties, and a copy thereof or extracts therefrom, to be made and officially certified or exemplified, without the payment of any fee or charge. Code Civ. Pro., § 3290.

12 Officer may charge fees paid by him for oaths, etc. Where an officer or other person is required, in the course of a duty imposed upon him by law, to take an oath, to acknowledge an instrument, to cause an instrument to be filed or recorded, or to transmit a paper to another officer, he is entitled, in addition to the fees, or other compensation for the service, prescribed by law, to the fees necessarily paid by him, to the officer who administered the oath, or took the acknowledgment, or filed or recorded the instrument; and to the expense of transmitting the paper, including postage, where the transmission is lawfully made through the post-office. Code Civ. Pro., § 3291.

13 Fees of officer transmitting papers. Each provision of this act, requiring a judge, clerk, or other officer to transmit a paper to another officer, for the benefit of a party, is to be construed as requiring the transmission only at the request of the person so to be benefited, and upon payment by him of the fees allowed by law for the paper transmitted, or any copy or certificate connected therewith, and the expenses specified in the last section. Code Civ. Pro., § 3292. 14 Refusal of newspaper to publish for legal fees. If the proprietor of each newspaper, published in a city or county, in which any notice, order, citation, or other paper is required by law to be published, refuses to publish the same, for the fees prescribed by law for the publication, it may be published in the newspaper, printed at Albany, in which legal notices are required by law to be published. If it is required by law to be published in that newspaper, and also in another newspaper published in a city or county, and the proprietor of each newspaper in that city or county refuses to publish it for the fees so prescribed, it may be published in the newspaper, published nearest to the place, where a person is required to appear, or where an act is to be done, pursuant thereto, the proprietor of which will publish the same, for those fees. Publication, made as prescribed in this section, is as valid, as if it was made in the city or county, where the publication thereof is so required by law. Code Civ. Pro., § 3293.

15 Affidavit of refusal, etc. Where publication is made, as prescribed in the last section, elsewhere than in the city or county where it is otherwise required by law to be made, the affidavit of publication must either be accompanied with an affidavit, or contain a statement, to the effect that an application to publish the advertisement was, before such publication, made to the proprietor of each newspaper published in the city or county; that the amount of the legal fees for such publication was at the same time tendered; and that the application was refused. Such an affidavit is presumptive evidence of the facts stated therein. Code Civ. Pro., § 3294.

16 Audit of fees chargeable to state. Where the fees or other charges of an officer are chargeable to the state, they must be audited by the comptroller, and paid on his warrant, except as otherwise specially prescribed by law. Code Civ. Pro., § 3295.

17 Fees for publication. Except as otherwise specially prescribed by law, the proprietor of a newspaper is entitled, for publishing a summons, notice, order, citation, or other advertisement, required by law to be published, other than the session laws, for each folio, to seventy-five cents for the first insertion, and fifty

cents for each subsequent insertion. The compensation, for publishing the session laws, must be fixed by the board of supervisors, at not more than fifty cents for each folio. Code Civ. Pro., § 3317.

36 Hun, 620; 36 N. Y. St. R. 879; 13 N. Y. Supp. 822.

18 Special provisions not affected. The allowance of a fee, by this title,* does not apply to a case, where special provision is otherwise made by statute for compensation for a particular service. Code Civ. Pro., § 3330.

19 Fees, when computed by former statutes. Where an officer has, when hist title* takes effect, commenced the performance of a service, for which a fee is allowed by the statutes heretofore in force, he is entitled to the fee so allowed, for the completion of that service, and he is not entitled to the fee for the same, or a corresponding service, allowed by this title.* Code Civ. Pro., § 3331.

90 N. Y. 521; 18 W. D. 58; 27 Hun, 229.

21 Fees, how audited and paid. The fees hereint allowed for services, except those which by law are otherwise provided for, shall be county charges, and shall be audited by the board of supervisors of the county, in which such services are rendered, and shall be paid in the same manner as other contingent charges of the county. 2 R. S. 753, § 12.

See Evidence, §§ 140, 141.
