  • In the distribution among officers of the court of all cost, both in particular cases or matters and all insolvent costs and fines, forfeitures and fees paid into the superior court of the said Atlanta Judicial Circuit, or which may become due and payable therein, the County of Fulton shall be subrogated to the rights and claims of the district attorney of said circuit, and any former district attorney, and shall stand in their places and stead and shall be entitled to all funds, moneys and emoluments accruing to the said office in the said judicial circuit; and hereafter when orders on the insolvent funds or other judgments or findings are entered or approved in behalf of other officers of the court instead of the same being entered and approved in the name of the district attorney as under the present system, the same shall be entered and approved in the name of the district attorney for the use and benefit of Fulton County. All cost both in particular cases or matters, and all insolvent cost and all fines, forfeitures and fees and all moneys and emoluments accruing to the office of the district attorney in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, under any laws heretofore or now existing or which may hereafter be enacted, shall be collected by the district attorney of said circuit and paid by him into the treasury of said county. All of which said sums shall be the property of Fulton County and shall be paid by the district attorney into the treasury of Fulton County. The district attorney of said circuit shall make monthly written reports to and settlements for the amounts so collected and make payments and remittances thereof to the treasurer of said county, and shall furnish a duplicate of said statement and settlement to the board of commissioners, or other board or persons as may from time to time exercise the administrative powers of said county. Said district attorney of said judicial circuit shall keep accurate, detailed and exact record of all fees and emoluments, including insolvent costs, earned by the district attorney for said circuit, from any and all sources whatsoever arising within the judicial circuit, which records shall be at all times subject to the inspection and inquiry of the grand jury and of the board of commissioners of said county.
