“ There is no indication in the language of those sections of the Revised Statutes of any intention to change the meaning of sections 1 and 3 of the act of 1853, as modified by the act of 1855, as such meaning stood on the 1st of December, 1873. In the absence of such indication, sections 823 and 839 of the Revised Statutes must be accepted as the law on the subjects which they embrace, as it existed on the 1st of December, 1873. ”

“ The act of 1853, that is, the entire act, is extended over and made to apply to 'the fees of like officers in said territory of Utah;' that is, to 'the fees and costs to be allowed clerks, marshals, and attorneys' in the district courts in Utah, subject to the special provision of section 7 as to the compensation of the district attorney. The allowance of fees covers the allowance of compensation to be retained out of fees in the settlement of accounts by the accounting officers of the treasury. ”
