to pay the expenses which may be incurred during the then
succeeding year by the attendance of jurors, State's witnesses,
crier and bailiff of the Circuit Court, together with any ex-

and upon his failure to pay any such sum when so certified to
the person entitled to receive the same, the said treasurer

the costs of suit. The said court shall not issue to the indi-
viduals entitled to receive any of the expenses aforesaid,

respective amounts due as aforesaid any sum or sums of
money due and owing by the said individual to the said county
for taxes or otherwise. But said Treasurer shall pay no court
expenses save the per diem of jurors, State's witnesses, crier
and bailiff, unless the bills for the same shall have been first
submitted to and approved by the County Commissioners of
Harford County, as provided in Sections 66 to 69, inclusive,
