3815 - Hearing before county judge.

§ 3815. Hearing  before  county judge.   1. Upon the appearance of the  parties, or upon due proof of service of the  notice  and  copy  of  the  account,  the  county  judge  shall examine into the matter and hear the  proofs and allegations presented by the parties,  and  decide  by  order  whether  or  not  the  account,  or  any and what portion thereof, ought  justly to be charged upon the district, with costs and disbursements  to  such officer.    2.  Such  costs  and  disbursements shall not exceed the sum of thirty  dollars, and the decision of the county judge shall  be  final;  but  no  portion  of  such  account  shall  be  so ordered to be paid which shall  appear to  such  judge  to  have  arisen  from  the  wilful  neglect  or  misconduct  of  the  claimant.    The account with the oath of the party  claiming the same shall be  prima  facie  evidence  of  the  correctness  thereof.  The county judge may adjourn the hearing from time to time, as  justice shall seem to require.
