§ 2725.28.
The fees of officers and witnesses shall be taxed by the judge, on return of the proceedings
on a writ of habeas corpus, and collected as a part of the original costs in the case. When the prisoner is discharged, the costs shall be taxed to the state, and paid
out of the county treasury, upon the warrant of the county auditor. No officer or person shall demand payment in advance for any fees to which he is
entitled by virtue of the proceedings, when the writ is demanded or issued for the
discharge from custody of a person confined under color of proceedings in a criminal
case. When a person in custody by virtue or under color of proceedings in a civil case
is discharged, costs shall be taxed against the party at whose instance he was so
in custody. If he is remanded to custody, costs shall be taxed against him.
