§ 20-12. Fees and costs - Attendance of witnesses.

The party demanding a jury shall deposit with the Clerk of the Supreme Court a sum sufficient to pay the expenses of summoning the jury and the jurors' fees.  The Clerk, Marshal, jurors and witnesses shall be entitled to the same fees and mileage as are allowed in the district court for like services.  Witnesses may be notified by the Clerk by mail and shall be required to attend from any county in the state, if required by the party requesting such witness.  The entire costs in the cause shall be adjudged against the losing party, or apportioned in such manner as the Court may in its discretion direct.  The Court may require deposits from either party as the cause proceeds, to secure costs.
