District Clerks Fees.
Topeka Capital.

Topeka Capital.
Judge Hazeu Tuesday decided the
RickcnbrOde- Edwards case, d cOntrO-
versy involving The legal fees of the
district clerk. The decision Is Of in-
tereSt and lmpOl lance 10 lawyers ana
clients as wellaS TO the district clerks.
There mas beeu considerable dispute
as 10 What Constitutes an entry.
Judge Hdzen is OF tue opinlOn that
stating The Jlmr Of 1lllg the petition
is al entry; that stating Tue daJe OF
the summons is an entry; that stat
ing Tie time Of tile return thereof by
the officer Is an entry; that copying
the return OF the officer Is an enGry ;
that stating the Time Of filing sub
seQuent pleading is an entry; that
setting forth an abstract Of dn order
Of judgment Of the court Is an eutry;
that stating the name or names OF the
defendant or defendants sun mOned
and the day Of service upon each is an
entry.
When the SUMMONS is returned by
the sheriff, Judge HaZen says, it Is
the duty OF the clerk to enter The r..
turn Of the officer upon the appear
anCe docket, aud for copying this
return, which constitutes an entry,
he is entitled 10 the fee named by
law.
II there is cut one defendant
against whom judgement is rendered
the clerk receives % cents for enter
ing the judgment upon the dockt, and
when there are more than one, he is
required To repeat The entry under
the name OF each defendant, and he
should receive, Judge Hazen says, the
compensation provided by statute for
each entry. The clerk is not entitled
10 any fee for indexing the judgment
document, for the statute does not
require indexing TO be- done.
While the law does not name COM
penSensatiOn for entries in The eXecu-
tlUn docket, il does provide that the
clerk may receive fee fer making
any record. The court, therefore,
allows The fee of cents for each 100
words.
Judge Hazen holds that the clerk
should receive cents for indeXng
each case, but as To what entries shall
constitute an indexing he is not now
called upon TO decide. The custom is
to make two entries in indexing a
case, thereby doubling The cost.
