LIMITING MILEAGE COST FOR RETURN OF SUBPOENAS
                  Act of Jul. 9, 1935, P.L. 621, No. 219              Cl. 42
                                  AN ACT

     Limiting the mileage cost for return of subpoenas in criminal
        cases to the trips actually made, and imposing certain duties
        on controllers and district attorneys.

        Compiler's Note:  Section 2(a) of Act 53 of 1978 provided
            that Act 219 is repealed except insofar as it relates to
            mileage of constables.
        Section 1.  Be it enacted, etc., That whenever the officer or
     individual who has served subpoenas issued by the district
     attorney for any term of court shall make return thereof, as
     required by law, he shall be required to return all subpoenas,
     received within a reasonable time prior to such return day, at
     one and the same time; and in making such return of subpoenas he
     shall receive mileage only for trips actually and necessarily
     made in returning such subpoenas and not mileage on each
     separate subpoena returned. In order to carry into effect the
     provisions of this section, the district attorney in issuing
     subpoenas shall, so far as conveniently may be, mail or cause to
     be delivered subpoenas going to the same officer or individual
     for a term of court at one and the same time.
        Section 2.  No officer or person returning subpoenas issued
     by the district attorney shall receive payment for such service
     unless his bill is approved by the county controller, and, where
     there is no controller, by the district attorney whose duty it
     shall be to enforce the provisions of section one of this act.
