All costs collected shall be for the use of the State unless otherwise specifically provided by statute or rules of the Court.

No other fee or cost shall be allowed and no mileage shall be allowed unless it is expressly given by statute. In no case shall costs be charged for a service not performed; and every office or person receiving a fee shall, upon demand, give a receipt specifying the item of service represented by said fee.
