Board of County Commissioners v. Board of County Commissioners
Board of County Commissioners v. Board of County Commissioners
Opinion of the Court
A change of venue was had in a civil case pending in Elk county. It was sent to Green
We see no error in this. Costs incurred in criminal prosecutions by the state are by statute made payable by the county where the offense is committed., (Gen. Stat. 1901, § 5763.) We have been cited to no statute casting liability on Elk county for the items for which a recovery was denied. No costs were recoverable at common law; their allowance depends on the statute. (The State v. Campbell and Jones, 19 Kan. 481.)
The language used in the opinion in Shawnee Co. v. Wabaunsee Co., 4 Kan. 312, is hot applicable to the present controversy. That was a criminal case.
The judgment of the court below will be affirmed.
