Attorneys for th defend ant objected to the item of the, cost bill, 'declaring that as.. the action was for a sura- under $500, the trial fee should" be fh same as if the case had been tried befbr th county Judge. The section of . th . old cod cited a au thority for th defendant' contention follows: i "Whenever' any action, suit or pro ceeding Is. commenced In th circuit court, which, might have been com menced In the county court, th plain tiff therein shall pay th trial fees l quired .in. th circuit court, but shall not be entitled to recover off th ad verse party any mora of such fees than an amount equal to the fees in the county court in Ilk cases."
