was sent, and if sent to the city of Baltimore, returnable to the
Superior Court of said city, and there shall be sent therewith a
copy of the docket entries, upon which the court may proceed
on said execution by renewal or otherwise in the same manner
as if said execution had issued on a judgment rendered in said
court, and an attachment on judgment or decree shall be re-
garded as an execution in the meaning of this section.

6. Every clerk shall, on or before the first Monday of June
and first Monday of December in each year, transmit to the
Comptroller a list of all executions issued by the court of which
he is clerk, for fines, penalties or forfeitures, and also a list of
the fines, penalties and forfeitures imposed by his court, and a
list and account under oath of all public money received by him,
which lists shall contain the names of the parties, the amount
of the fines, penalties and forfeitures, and to whom payable, with
the costs thereon, and shall embrace all cases not included in
former lists returned by him, and shall show from whom and on
what account public money has been received.

7. Each clerk shall semi-annually, on the first Monday of June
and first Monday of December, pay to the Treasurer all public
money which he may have received, and on his failure to do so
within thirty days thereafter, his bond may be put in suit, for
the use of the State, in which suit recovery shall be had for the
amount appearing to be duo the State, with interest at the rate
of ten per cent, per annum, from the first Monday in June and
the first Monday in December respectively; and a failure on the
part of any clerk to make such payment shall amount to a
forfeiture of the commissions to which he would otherwise be
entitled, and any recovery on the bond of a clerk for the non-
payment of public money received by him shall be evidence of
a misdemeanor in office, for which, upon conviction, he may be
removed.

8. Each clerk shall be entitled to such commissions on all
money paid by him into the treasury, as is allowed by the law
regulating their fees.

9. Every clerk, (except the clerk of the Court of Appeals,)
the emoluments of whose office shall exceed the sum of two
thousand five hundred dollars in any one year, after deducting
therefrom the necessary expenses incident to his office for the
same period, shall pay the excess to the Treasurer.
