SEC. 10. And be it further enacted, by the authority, advice
and consent aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for the
justices of the provincial court to allow unto every person or
persons that shall be legally summoned to give their evidence
in the said courts the sum of forty pounds of tobacco, and no
more, for every day they attend at such court, together with
their itinerant charges, as usual, to be allowed by the court, and
paid by the person summoning them, and to be charged in the
bill of cost, in cases of meum and tuum, and in all cases crimi-
nal, to be paid according to the directions of the act of assembly
of this province for speedy trial of criminals, and for the pay-
ment of their fees; and that it shall and may be lawful for the
justices of the several and respective county courts of this pro-
vince to allow unto every person or persons that shall be sum-
moned to give their evidence in their several and respective
courts, in any action or controversy depending in the said
courts, the sum of thirty pounds of tobacco for every day they
attend as an evidence, until such cause shall be ended, and no
more, to be paid in the same manner as evidences that attend
the provincial court are herein before directed to be paid.
This is reprinted for its direction to the court to tax the attendance of
witnesses in the bill of costs. The per diem allowance to witnesses was
reviewed in 1797, ch. 94. It is not now uniform. Local laws applicable to
particular counties, now graduate the per diem.
