Of deeds, or other instruments, to include
the seal and certificate, for the first sig
nature, one dollar. for each additional

1t proposes to reduce the compensation

Except for the entries of judgments one

ing all papers sent on appeal from JUS
tees Court in each cause, and making
the necessary entries concerning the

lows one dollar and fifty cents, but i'm
pliedly allows for making all the neces-
sary entries. The same reductions are
contemplated as proposed for the Clerk
of the District Court, for similar services.
