      1. Where criminal cases were transferred from the superior court to the city court of Hall county in accordance with law, and a fund was raised therefrom in the city court, the officers of the superior court had no further claim thereon than to have such costs as had accrued in their favor in those cases prior to the removal paid. They could not have old insolvent costs paid therefrom. (See acts of 1S80-81, p. 558.)
    2. To a fund raised from criminal cases transferred from the superior court to the city court of Hall county the officers of the former court had no valid claim beyond the costs incurred in those cases prior to their transfer. Nor could the superior court allow a further claim on the part of its officers by order.
