§ 161. Amount spent for services of temporary stenographer to be
deducted from salary of official stenographer. If the official
stenographer of the judicial district in which such term shall be held
shall have been duly assigned to attend such term, and it does not
appear to the satisfaction of the justice that the failure to attend was
excusable, the justice may cause an order of the court to be entered at
such term, that the portion of the sum so paid by the county treasurer,
which was allowed for the per diem compensation for the services of the
stenographer employed at such term, shall be deducted from the salary of
the official stenographer who shall have been so assigned to attend such
term, and the clerk of such county shall transmit to the department of
taxation and finance a certified copy of such order, and such department
shall deduct such amount from the salary of such official stenographer
and pay the same to the treasurer of said county.
