The commission due and owing to the assignee or assignees and agent or agents for their trouble and labor shall be five per cent on receiving and two and a half per cent on paying, to be equally divided between them, that is to say, one half to the assignee or assignees and the other half to the agent or agents. But upon petition to the circuit court or a judge thereof there may, in the discretion of the court or judge, be allowed fees to the assignee or assignees and agent or agents in excess of those above provided.
