ANNOTATION
It is the duty of the clerk to pay all witness fees into the treasury. The clerk of the district court was authorized by this section to collect and receive witness fees taxed as costs in actions tried in the district court, and it was made his duty to pay into the treasury of the county all jury fees when collected, and all witness fees that remained in his possession for a period of a month. Adams v. People, 25 Colo. 532, 55 P. 806 (1898).
Deposit of checks, etc., is equivalent to collection. Where the clerk of a district court received payment of jury and witness fees in checks and drafts which he deposited in bank to his credit, it was equivalent in law to the collection by him of money, and it was his duty to pay over to the county the money thus collected and for failure to do so he might be prosecuted under a charge of failure to pay over money collected. Adams v. People, 25 Colo. 532, 55 P. 806 (1898).
Clerk may be prosecuted upon failure to pay over such fees. The clerk of the district court is an officer in this state entrusted by law with the collection and receiving of jury and witness fees and as such is subject to prosecution under § 13-33-106. Adams v. People, 25 Colo. 532, 55 P. 806 (1898).
