shall never exceed those hereinbefore mentioned. The officer shall be
paid any necessary expense incurred by him in keeping property not
before mentioned or in removing any property; and when, after dis-
training or levying, he neither sells nor receives payment, and either
takes no forthcoming bond, or takes one which is not forfeited, he shall,
if in no default, have (in addition to the sixty cents for a bond, if one
was taken) a fee of three dollars.
Unless this is more than one-half of what his commission would have
amounted to if he had received payment, in which case he shall (whether
a bond was taken or not), have a fee of at least one dollar and so much
more as is necessary to make the said half.
The commission to be included in a forthcoming bond, when one is
taken, shall be five per centum on the first three hundred dollars of the
money which the distress or levy is, and two per centum on the residue
of said money; but such commission shall not be received unless the
bond is forfeited or paid (including the commission) to the plaintiffs,
and of whatever interest may accrue on such bond, or the execution
or judgment thereon, the officer shall be entitled to his proportionable
share thereof, on account of his fees included in said bond. An officer
receiving payment in money or selling goods shall receive the like com-
mission of five per centum on the first three hundred dollars of the
money paid or proceeding from the sale, and two per centum on the
residue, except that when such payment or sale is on an execution on a
forthcoming bond, his commission shall only be half what it would be if
the execution were not on such bond.
