§ 807 - Audit of sheriff's accounts - Vermont Statutes

§ 807. Audit of sheriff's accounts

All accounts of a sheriff or his or her deputy shall be allowed as the account of the sheriff, and all bills of costs growing out of substantially the same transaction shall be audited at the same time. An officer, magistrate, or witness shall not be allowed fees more than once for essentially the same service, nor for constructive service. A bill of costs shall not be allowed in any case where it appears to the auditor that the prosecution was superfluous and instituted for the purpose of enhancing costs.
