History: Laws 1907, ch. 28, § 2; Code 1915, § 1128; C.S. 1929, § 33-3308; 1941 Comp., § 15-3110; 1953 Comp., § 15-33-17.

Bracketed material. — The bracketed material was inserted by the compiler and is not part of the law.

Compiler's notes. — Since this section seems to apply only to the county clerk of a county out of which another has been created, it may not apply to a person engaged to transcribe such records under 4-33-13 NMSA 1978 who is not a clerk of such county.

The 1915 Code compilers substituted "county clerk" for "probate clerk and ex officio recorder."

Cross references. — For costs of transcription of records, see 4-33-13 NMSA 1978.

Compensation of deceased clerk. — Where probate clerk died in 1906 while in process of making transcripts of property records of old county for use of new county, the compensation to which his estate was entitled was fixed by C.L. 1897, § 1768 (superseded by 34-7-14, 34-7-15 NMSA 1978), and not by this section, which imposed additional duties which were not performed by the decedent.
