the record which has already been printed.

For authentication of any record, document or paper under seal

hundred and seventy-one, fifty cents.

For all other services not specifically mentioned above, the same
fee as would be charged by a clerk of a circuit court in similar cases.

In every case wherein printing is done under section sixty-three
hundred and fifty-seven, the clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals
shall charge in such cases, to the appellants or plaintiffs in error, the
actual cost of printing the record, plus ten cents per page for each
printed page thereof, which shall be paid to the clerk before the
printing is done. As soon as the case is docketed after the appeal,
writ of error, or supersedeas is allowed, the clerk of the said court
shall notify the appellant, or his counsel of record, of the amount
of costs, and if the same is not paid within thirty days from the date
of such notice the case shall be dismissed, which costs so paid, shall
be recovered and paid by the parties respectively, as the court shall
direct. When a case is decided by the Supreme Court of Appeals the
clerk shall furnish two copies of the opinion rendered by the court
thereon, one to counsel on each side of the case, without making any
charge therefor. The clerk shall keep an accurate account of all
fees and costs collected by him and shall make monthly remittances
thereof to the State Treasurer, transmitting with each remittance a
detailed statement showing each and every item covered thereby. All
such fees and costs shall be credited by the Comptroller to the general
fund of the State treasury.
