in a criminal case shall be entitled to one dollar and fifty cents for
each day’s attendance upon the court and mileage at the rate of five
cents per mile for each mile of travel, by most direct route, in go-
ing to and returning frem court; the amount allowed for mileage,
however, in no case to exceed one dollar per day; provided, however.
that each juror summoned from one county or city to try a criminal
case in another county or city shall, for his services, receive one
dollar and fifty cents for each day’s attendance upon the court and
mileage at the rate of five cents per mile for each mile of travel, by
most direct route, in going to and returning from the place of trial,
but should the juror summoned attend, but not be called upon to
serve, he shall be entitled to receive the mileage herein provided
and one dollar per day for each day’s attendance on the court. 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 on!v
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.

And 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 equally
the pay and mileage for such 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 is made or has been made
under this section, to furnish the clerk of such 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, as aforesaid, shall be verified by his affidavit.

2. As this bill affects payments out of the treasury, an emer-
gency exists; therefore, this act shall be in force from its passage.
