The endorsement shall secure the officers and witnesses a preference to all transfers, set-offs and attorney's liens. The endorsement shall be copied on the execution that issues for the costs, and shall show what part each officer and witness is entitled to, and authorize each to receive the amount so endorsed. Effective: October 1, 1942 History: Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 901.
