ANNOTATION
Unless court taxes jury fees as costs, county is liable. The compensation of jurymen is fixed by this section and except where jury fees are taxed to parties litigant, the county must discharge that burden; but neither the service of the juror nor the obligation of the county, comes of appointment or contract. Bd. of County Comm'rs v. Evans, 99 Colo. 83, 60 P.2d 225 (1936).
This section places jurors for coroners' inquests on an equality with other jurors, and they are to be compensated in the same manner; that is, by a per diem while serving as such. Ireland v. County Comm'rs, 6 Colo. 280 (1882).
