(Gesetz-Sammlung für die Königlich Preussischen
Staaten 1822. No. 16. p. 193.)

Die

ie Königlich Preufsische Regierung hat sich wegen der Kosten in Untersuchungen wider unvermögende Personen mit der Herzoglich Anhalt - Dessauschen Regierung dahin vereinigt:

1. In allen Fällen, wo Delinquenten von einer Königlich Preussischen Criminal - Justizbehörde an eine Herzoglich Anhalt - Dessausche Criminal-Justizbehörde, oder von dieser an jene, nach vorgängiger Requisition ausgeliefert werden, sind nicht allein alle baaren Auslagen, sondern auch die sämmtlichen nach der bei dem requirirten Gerichte üblichen Taxe zu liquidirenden Gerichtsgebühren, dem letztern aus dem Vermögen des an das requirirende Gericht ausgelieferten Delinquenten, wenn solches dazu hinreicht, zu entrichten. Hat aber der ausgelieferte Delinquent kein hinreichendes Vermögen, so fallen die Gebühren für die Arbeiten des requirirten Gerichts durchgehends weg und das requirirende Gericht bezahlt alsdann dem Erstern nur die baaren Auslagen für Atzung, Transport, Porto und Copialien.

2. Nach gleichen Grundsätzen soll auch in Absicht der Bezahlung der Kosten in solchen Criminalfällen verfahren werden, wo es nicht auf die Auslieferung von Delinquenten, sondern nur auf die Abhörung oder Sistirung von Zeugen oder anderer Personen ankommt.

3. Zur Entscheidung der Frage: ob der Delinquent hinreichendes eigenes Vermögen zur Bezahlung der Gerichtsgebühren besitze oder nicht, soll in den beiderseitigen Ländern nichts weiter als das Zeugnifs derjenigen Gerichtsstelle erfordert werden, unter welcher der
