writ cf error, or supersedeas is allowed, the clerk of the said court
shall notify the appellant or his counsel of record of the amount
of such costs, and if the same are not paid within ninety days from
the date of such notice the case shall be dismissed, which costs so
paid, or secured to be paid, shall be recovered and paid by the parties,
respectively, as the court shall direct. The clerk shall account for
and pay into the treasury of the State the amount taxed for printing
the record, and he shall charge the appellant or plaintiff in error
for his services in superintending and examining the printing, in-
aexing, distributing, and filing the records, conducting the corres-
pondence, et cetera, at the rate of one and a half cents for every
ten words actually printed in the record, which shall be paid in every
