any party shall fail to pay accrued costs though able to
do so or shall fail to fulfill the terms upon which any
waiver of costs or prepayment of costs shall have been
granted, any Judge of said Court, so finding shall have
power to deny the said party the right to file any new
case in said Court while such costs remain unpaid and like-

any case pending in such Court. Any intentional misrep-

order to obtain such waiver shall constitute a misdemeanor
and shall be punishable by fine of not more than $50. 00.
