    
      Collins vs. Dickerson.
    
    *"1PHE cleric and master Mr.Iredell, had issued his execution for about the sum of four hundred pounds as due for the- costs of this suit, which Diekerson complained of. And the court in the beginning of this Term referred it to Mr. Blair to state to the Court the services which had been performed by Mr. Iredell. He accordingly made his report; whereupon several questions, arose and were debated at the bar.
    One vzas, whether for sums expressed in figures in recording the proceedings he should charge for as many wotds as would be necessary to express the sum in words at length, or whether he should charge for each sum expressed in figures as for one word.
   Per curiam,

Willi asís and Haywood.

He shall charge as for one word for each sum expressed ;n -figures in pounds, shillings and pence. as for instance, yC. 1 10 Í1, ■expressed in figures shall be charged for as for one word.

Another question was, what should be deemed a copy sheet; •that not being expressed in the act of 1787, ch. 22, sec. 3.

Per curiam, it is mentioned in the act of 1782, ch. 11, sec. 4, to be ninety words.: the legislature meant the same thing in the act of 1787.
