scribed, and shall enforce payment thereof, and
the amount so paid, together with the sum paid as
a condition precedent to the cause being brought

party in the action, and shall be so taxed in the bill
of coats of the action. It shall further be the duty

such trials, upon request, a copy of the notes of
testimony and judicial opinions taken by him on
Bach trials, or of such part thereof as may be re •
quired on payment, on behalf of such party of the

of the Court as the Judge thereof may designate,

of interest to Courts in other portions of the State.
He shall receive no additional compensation for
the preparation of such reports, but shall be enti-
ted to the copy rights thereof, provided they shall
be published at his expense.

Court shall require the attendance of the Stenog-
rapher, whose duty it shall be in such proceed-
ings, to take full stenographic notes of all oral
proofs and judicial opinions orally delivered, and
