Att'y. for the United States. ■ H. W. Bookstaver, for the Marshal. �Choatb, D. J. In this case, after return of an execution against the property of the defendants unsatisfied, an execu- tion against their persons was issued and served by the mar- shal, who held them under arrest for some time, when they; gave bonds for the limits. The amount of the execution was $48,605.47. Subsequently a compromise of $15,000 waa accepted by the secretary of the treasury, and the plaintifE's. costs are payable ont of this sum. The marshal's costs for serving the execution have been taxed at $875.30, being fee for serving, 69 cents; poundage, 3 per cent, on $250, and 2 per cent, on $48,355.47. The plaintiff has appealed from the clerk's taxation. �The question to be determined is -whether the marshal is entitled to poundage on the sum coUected or realized by the compromise, or on the whole amount for which the execution issued. By Eev. St. TJ. S. § 829, the marshal is entitled to the same fees and poundage for serving an execution as are or shall be allowed to sheriffs of the state for similar services. The question then is, what poundage is the sheriff entitled to ? ����
