280 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 162

to any State or County institution or from any jail of any
other County, or the jail or station-house of Baltimore City,
or to or from any other place of confinement beyond the limits
of Anne Arundel County, under sentence or order of any
authorized authority, the said County Commissioners shall pay
the said sheriff his actual car fare or actual cost of transporta-
tion, together with the actual cost of transportation of such
person carried or conveyed by him to or from the place above
mentioned; authorized bill for such expenses in all such cases
shall be presented under oath to said County Commissioners
before payment.

214A. The Sheriff of Anne Arundel County shall collect
all fees and charges in civil and criminal cases to which his
office may be entitled by law, and shall exercise all powers
conferred upon him by law to enforce the collection of the
same, and shall keep a systematic and complete record of all
such cases and collections from the same; and shall at the first
meeting of the County Commissioners held in each month make
a full and detailed report of all fees charged for, and also all
fees received, by him for the preceding month in all civil and
criminal cases; the said statements and reports to be under
oath of the sheriff, and the said statement and report to be ac-
companied by the sheriff's check for all of such fees, both civil
and criminal, collected by him during the preceding month.
Provided, however, that the said sheriff may retain from the
civil fees collected by him an amount, not exceeding in the ag-
gregate five hundred dollars per annum, sufficient to pay the
actual and necessary expenses for deputies serving civil papers
in civil cases, the said deductions to be specified and itemized
in the sheriff's monthly reports. The amounts so charged for
expenses of deputies shall be reasonable and shall not exceed
a maximum schedule to be prescribed by the County Commis-
sioners and filed with the sheriff. And whenever any sheriff
shall retire from office, leaving uncollected any costs, fees or
charges in civil and criminal cases lawfully payable to him or
his office, it shall be the duty of his successor to collect and pay
over the same in the manner above prescribed; and it shall be
the duty of the sheriff to keep in his office, in proper books for
the purpose, an official record of the fees and charges to be col-
lected by him and those which have been so collected, which
books shall remain in his office after the expiration of his term
for the use of his successor.
