Stationery

Includes blanks for use in public offices. 3

Means such articles as are usually sold by stationers, — paper, ink, quills, &c. The term may include ordinary law-blanks, but does not embrace blank forms, appropriate only for the use of some single officer, and which must be printed solely for his use. A statute providing that suitable books and stationery shall be furnished to each county officer, at the expense of the county, does not render the county Uable for printing blank forms for business peculiar to his office. Commissioners of Arapahoe v. Koons, 1 Cd. T, 160. Blank writs, subpoenas, witness certificates, &c., procured by the clerk for, and actually used in, his office, are "stationery," for which he is to be allowed, under the Alabama statutes. Commissioners' Court V. Goldthwaite, 35 Ala. 704.
