Witnesses in the county, circuit, chancery and justice courts shall receive the same pay per day as is set by the board of supervisors under Section 25-7-61 for service as a juror plus mileage as authorized under Section 25-3-41 for each mile going to and returning from the courthouse to their homes by the nearest route, and such tolls and ferriages as they may actually be obliged to pay; but a charge shall not be made for mileage except that traveled in this state. Witnesses in all other cases shall receive the same compensation as they receive before the circuit court.
