In an action of trover or bail trover where the principal amount is $100.00 or less or where the value of the property sought to be recovered is $100.00 or less, the costs in such an action of trover or bail trover in the trial court shall be $5.00 which shall be equally divided to cover the services of the clerk of the court and the sheriff; provided, however, that the sheriff may also collect the additional amount of costs as provided by law for serving subpoenas upon witnesses; and provided, further, that clerks of the superior courts shall be entitled to receive the same fees as in other civil cases for performing the duties required of them in cases of trover or bail trover regardless of the amount involved in such cases of trover or bail trover.
