.ia4h ELECTORS. 4
Heretofore the law required the Clerks
lof the County Courts to forward the vote
for Residential Electors, by a special mes
sHeanger, to the seat of government. By the
act Of the last session, the judges of the
election are required to make their returns
to the clerk within two days after the elec-
ton, and the clerk is required to deposite in
the nearest post Office, on the most direct
route to the seat of government, within two
days after the returns are received at his
office, a certificate Of the result of the cleo
Ition. Provision is made in the third section
for a failure in the receipt of the certificate
at the seat Of government.
EXECUTIONS.
Whenever a plaintiff in execution desires
to sell real estate lying in adifferent county
from that in which the defendant resides,
he is required to give the defendant notice
of the fact of the issuance Of the execution,
when directed, land when returnable, at least
twenty days prior to the day of sale.
The whole law of fees needs revision and
Observation-Disclosures especially since the a.
doption of the "practice act" But instead
of undertaking this task, the only change
made is as to the fees of clerks for issuing
commissions to take dispositions and for
copying interrogatories.
FERRIES.
Where land 10 owned by the same Per,o"
on both sides Of a river. in any county in
the State, the county courts are authorized
to grantthe exclusive privilege Of keeping
a ferry there, according to the provisions of
the general Law on the subject.
GOVERNORS HOUSE.
The sum of two thousand dollars was APP
propriated for the purpose Of purchasing
furniture for the mansion of his Excellency,
repairing the same, erecting a kitchen, sta
BILE and sheds; and there is an additional ap-
preparation of 1922 to reimburse the ex.
Governor for certain repairs made by his
direction.
GROCERIES AND DRAMsHoPs.
The keepers of these establishments are
permitted to sell intoxicating drinks in any
quantity not exceeding ten gallons at a time
GUARDIANS.
The LIST section of this law makes the ap-
Ipointment of curator of the estate Of a nom
resident Of the State, in the first county,
where the appointment is made exclusive Of
the jurisdiction of the probate court of any
other county, and gives jurisdiction of all
the estate in this State. The third section
authorizes the probate courts to make par
Itition of slaves among heirs and distribu-
tees, and to make sale also. Isupposs this
lis intended to give jurisdiction in those
leases where there has been no administra-
|tion, which BY some lawyers has been
Thought to be necessary, to authorize a par.
1%tition or sale for the purpose Of distribution
Of slave property. The 74th chapter of the
statutes of 1916, authorized our probate
courts to permit foreign guardians to re-
move the property of their wards in thu
State to another State, provided the bshe'
fits Of this act should not extend to the citi'
zsns of any State in which a similsr act doe
not exist or may not hereafter be passed.
This proviso is repealed BY the fourth sac
ton of this law. Another amendment re
Ipeals that part of the act Of ls45 which re-
quired guardians and curators to give notice
of their final settlements in the same nan
ner as administrators. It was certainly wis
to repeal this provision, inasmuch as sh'
4 courts never enforced It.
