If a person, charged with a felony, shall be discharged by the officer taking his examination, the costs shall be paid by the prosecutor or person on whose oath the prosecution was instituted, and the officer taking such examination shall enter judgment against such person for the same, and issue execution therefor immediately; and in no such case shall the state or county pay the costs.
