deputies, and the clerks of the said district and territorial
courts, shall be paid for their services the like fees as may be
allowed to them for similar services in other cases; and where such
services rendered exclusively in the arrest, custody, and delivery
of the fugitive to the claimant, his or her agent or attorney, or
where such supposed fugitive may be discharged out of custody for
the want of sufficient proof as aforesaid, then such fees are to be
paid in the whole by such claimant, his agent or attorney; and in
all cases where the proceedings are before a commissioner, he shall
be entitled to a fee of ten dollars in full for his services in
each case, upon delivery of the said certificate to the claimant,
his or her agent or attorney; or a fee of five dollars in cases
where the proof shall not, in the opinion of such commissioner,
warrant such certificate and delivery, inclusive of all services
incident to such arrest and examination, to be paid in either case,
by the claimant, his or her agent or attorney. The person or
persons authorized to execute the process to be issued by such
commissioners for the arrest and detention of fugitives from
service or labor as aforesaid, shall also be entitled to a fee of
five dollars each for each person he or they may arrest and take
before any such commissioner as aforesaid at the instance and
request of such claimant, with such other fees as may be deemed
reasonable by such commissioner for such other additional services
as may be necessarily performed by him or them: such as attending
to the examination, keeping the fugitive in custody, and providing
him with food and lodging during his detention, and until the final
determination of such commissioner; and in general for performing
such other duties as may be required by such claimant, his or her
attorney or agent, or commissioner in the premises; such fees to be
made up in conformity with the fees usually charged by the officers
of the courts of justice within the proper district or county, as
near as may be practicable, and paid by such claimants, their
agents or attorneys, whether such supposed fugitive from service or
labor be ordered to be delivered to such claimants by the final
determination of such commissioners or not.
