duce the cost of the preparation of a transcript of the record and pro:
ceedings to accompany a petition for a writ of error or appeal or super-
sedeas from or to the supreme court of appeals to or from any judg-
ment, decree, or order of any court of record, and to provide for pay-
ment therefor, approved March twenty-first, nineteen hundred and
twenty-four, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 1. Whenever a party seeks a writ of error, or appeal or super-
sedeas from or to the supreme court of appeals to or from any judg-
ment, decree, or order of any court of record and presents to the clerk
of the inferior court a bill or certificate of exceptions, duly signed by the
judge, together with an accurate typewritten copy thereof, certified by
said judge, although such bill or certificate of exceptions contains a
ranscript of the evidence or instructions given or refused, such clerk
shall accept such copy as and for a part of the transcript of such record,
and shall so certify the same, for which service he shall be entitled to the
sum of five dollars, which sum of five dollars shall be in lieu of the sum
which he would be otherwise entitled to under section thirty-four hun-
dred and eighty-four of the Code of Virginia, as amended. ,

If it be a chancery cause, the party seeking such appeal may pre-
sent to the clerk of the inferior court a transcript of the record, and it
shall be the duty of said clerk to compare, and correct, if necessary,
such transcript, and to then certify the same, for which service he
shall have one-tenth of the amount to which he would have been en-
itled under section thirty-four hundred and eighty-four of the Code
of Virginia, as amended, if said transcript had been made by him; or
such party may present to such clerk a copy of any part of such re-
cord, in which event, the clerk shall compare and correct the same, and
then incorporate it into, and as part of, the complete transcript of such
record, and his compensation therefor shall be one-tenth of what it
would have been if such copies had been made by him.

If counsel for the parties opposite shall make up and agree upon
the record of a case, either civil or criminal, as made in the inferior
court, and present the same to the clerk of said court, approved by the
judge thereof, the clerk shall certify such record and agreement, for
which service he shall have the sum of two dollars and fifty cents.
