Hotr was next taken up.

very poor-and had been taken in by Mr. Wag-
ner who was then jailor, with view of giving
her work enough to eamhe living. But she had

/ ,al.a ovl I,,l 1,;1 l.. Ii.
Is days. The committee had allowed but $40
for the reason that that sum- at 81 per day, was
all that had accrued prior TO the day when the
township law went into effect.
On melton $40 were allowed on the bill as rec.
commended
The bill of James Stout for holding an inquest
was next taken up.
Mr Wallace thought the committee were mis-.
taken in their view of the law ON this subject
He referred to Chap 80, r. s and had no doubt
the case in question came within the provisions of
that statute. The man nnquestionably had come
TO his death by casualty" and he thought the
county could be legally compelled to pay the
cOroners fees.
It had appeared, however, before the commit.
tee, that 81 in cash had been found on the person
Of the deceased, which had been returned to Mr..
Lowry who claimed it as money he had that
morning lent to Mr. Mcintosh. This sum should
have been applied TO paying the funeral expenses.
Mr. Wallace therefore moved that the bill be
allowed after deductng the 81 indicated, which
was agreed TO.
The bill of Dclapo anu Stephens was next ia,
ken up
Nj. Galloway said the committee had referred
to the sheriff and others, and were satisfied that
the repairs for which pay was claimed wereneces-
sary and that the charge was reasonable. They
had also had the advice of Mr. Sanford. who was
n mason by trade and who had estimated the
work by the yard and found it to amount to $3.50
at 81! CTS pr yd. allowing $50 for building the
chimncys.
On motion Of Mr.. Bu,terfeld, the bill was al
lowed
The bill Of ]. W. Dow, for boarding prisoners,
was next taken up, and as the charges were in nc.
conancc with the statute, md there was no doubt
rs to the correctness Of the time, it was allowed
as claimed
Bill Of 4, r Wagner, for same service, was al
| lowed.
| Bill Of Martin Murray next taken up Tho
time was certified to be correct by the sheriff and
| by Dcnno and Stephens,
! II appearing that Murray had attended some
10 or IL days Of the time charged for Delano ii
Stephens and had charged it to the county; and
"a the county hnd allowed Delano d Stephens Tor
