which shall be paid by him quarterly to the Comptroller to whom
he shall give bond in the penalty of one thousand dollars, and
the balance he shall retain as his own compensation for the ser-
vices hereby imposed and performed; provided that besides
the two cents he shall pay all excess over one thousand dollars
