All the costs and expenses attending any such change of venue, made on the application of either party, shall be taxed against and paid by the petitioner, and shall not be taxed in the costs of the suit; provided, however, that when the change of venue is sought on the grounds of the prejudice of the inhabitants of the county, and the application is controverted by the opposing party, the costs incurred by the opposing party in hearing and determining said application shall be taxed against and paid by the losing party to said application.

3.
