A certified copy of a petition, with schedules omitted, commencing a proceeding under the bankruptcy law of the United States, of the decree of adjudication in the proceeding, or of the order approving the bond of the trustee appointed in the proceeding may be filed and recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court of any county in the same manner as deeds. It shall be the duty of the clerks to docket and index such certified copies under the name of the bankrupt and to record the certified copies filed for record in the same manner as deeds. Clerks shall be entitled to the same fees for docketing, indexing, and recording the copies as for docketing, indexing, and recording deeds.
