James W. Gilbert v. James C. Brazier.
    
   PER CURIAM.

The question is, whether the sheriff is entitled to fees on levying a fine. The statute directing the mode of making the levy, declares it shall be done without fee or reward. The fee-bill gives a fee ; but does not say by whom it shall be paid. We all know how it has been : the fee has been charged by the sheriff, in his accounts. This, we think, is the regular practice ; for it cannot be demanded from the person who has had to pay the fine.
