¶1Mcmdctmus. The taxation of commissioners’ fees in gross was improper. Besides they should have been taxed in the court below. The charges for briefs, if the several amounts were not too large, may stand. The charges of $10 for copy and $10 for testimony of Biehards should only have been allowed on a proper affidavit of disbursements.
¶2Matter referred back to taxing officer.
