inal case shall be entitled to three and one-half dollars for each day of
attendance upon the court, and mileage at the rate of five cents per mile
for each mile of travel on each day of such attendance (except when they
are kept together and their expenses are paid by the State) by most direct
route in going to and returning from court; but such mileage shall in no
case exceed two dollars per day ; provided that each juror summoned from
one county or city to try a criminal case in another county or city shall,
for his services, receive his actual expenses in addition to his per diem.
If the same person attend as a juror in more than one criminal case on
the same day he shall receive compensation and mileage in only one case.
Amounts for attendance and mileage provided for in this section shall be
paid out of the treasury of the State except as hereinafter provided.

When during the same day a person has served as a juror, for which
he is entitled to be paid out of the public treasury, and has also served
as a juror, for which he is entitled to be paid out of the county or corpora-
tion levy, the court shall divide equally the pay and mileage for the day
between the State and the county or corporation ; and it shall be the duty
of the sheriff of the circuit or sergeant of the corporation or hustings
court, at the term of the court during which an allowance 1s made or has
been made under this section, to furnish the clerk of the court with a state-
ment showing the number and names of the jurors in attendance upon
the court, and the number of miles, respectively, of travel, as aforesaid.
In every case the claim of the juror for attendance and for mileage shall
be verified by his affidavit.

Section 6007. Pay and mileage of jurors.—Every person summoned
as a juror shall be entitled to three and one-half dollars for each day of
attendance upon the court, and at the rate of five cents per mile for each
mile of travel on each day of such attendance by most direct route in going
to and returning from court ; such mileage in no case to exceed two dollars
per day, except when summoned for the trial of cases provided for in the
preceding section, in which case the court may allow them their actual
expenses in addition to their per diem, such pay and mileage to be paid
out of the county or corporation levy.

When during the same day a person has served as a juror for which
he is entitled to be paid out of the public treasury, and has also served as
a juror, for which he is entitled to be paid out of the county or corporation
levy, the court shall divide the pay and mileage for such day between the
State and the county or corporation ; and it shall be the duty of the sheriff
or sergeant, at the term of the court during which an allowance is made
or has been made under this section, to furnish the clerk of the court with
a statement, showing the number and names of the jurors in attendance
upon the court, and the number of miles respectively of travel. In every
case the claim of the juror for attendance and for mileage shall be verified
by his affidavit. In cities, when the jurors are summoned to attend courts
held in such cities, jurors shall only receive one dollar for each day of at-
tendance upon the court without serving upon a jury.
