Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The motion is denied. The clerks of the Circuit Courts are not bound to perform services for the State, in civil causes, without compensation. They are entitled to the same fees that they would be entitled to receive from private persons. A clerk is not bound to deliver an exemplification of the records of the Court of which he is clerk, until his fees are paid for making the exemplification.

Motion denied.
