bill by municipal or district court clerk and making of final assessment of costs in circuit
court upon appeals from municipal or district courts to circuit courts. (a) It is hereby declared

process has been abused. (b) Docket fees and other court costs in criminal cases shall be
assessed upon conviction; provided that, in the interest of justice,...
