1. ““It is clear that the disbursements above specified have been made ‘on behalf of the prosecution.’ It is also clear that a county is but a local subdivision of the state for governmental purposes.

We are of the opinion that the reasonable interpretation of the clause quoted from section 6, taken in connection with section 5 of said chapter, is that a judgment may be entered against the accused for all necessary disbursements made on behalf of the prosecution, by whomsoever advanced, and that, inasmuch as all of the items sought to be taxed in this proceeding have been advanced by Minnehaha county, the judgment rendered in favor of the state will of necessity be for the benefit of that county.””
