Section 494
SEC. 494. Costs in Supreme Court. — In an action pending in the Supreme Court, the prevailing party may recover the following costs, and no others: For his own attendance, and that of his lawyers, down to and including final judgment, forty pesos. For official copies of bills of exception and the printing thereof, and all other copies required by rules of court, the sum actually paid for the same, within the limits to be established by rules of the Supreme Court. All lawful fees charged against him by the clerk of the Supreme Court, in entering and docketing the action and recording the proceedings and judgment therein and for the issuing of all process. No allowance shall be made to the prevailing party in the Supreme Court for the brief or written or printed arguments of his lawyer, or copies thereof, aside from the forty pesos above stated. If testimony is received in the Supreme Court, not taken in another court and transmitted thereto, the prevailing party shall be allowed in the Supreme Court the same costs for witness fees, depositions, and process and service thereof as he would have been allowed for such items had the testimony been introduced in a Court of First Instance. The lawful fees of assessors and referees in an action may also be taxed against the defeated party, or apportioned, as justice requires.
