ed The Finance Committee have duly conside
he the application of j. G. Taylor, Esq, for comp
of saton for fourteen months services as clerk ef
nd Mayor and Recorders Court of this Municipal
at $25 per month, or $3.50. Mr. Taylor bases
claim under the act of the last Legislature,
10 322, constituting Mayor and Recorders Cour
10 each Municipality of New Orleans, for the tria

81 Court from portion of its laborious duties,
IT. consequently all officers acting under its autho
are State Officers and not Municipal, and n
o look to the State Treasury, and not the Corporal
as tor pay for their services. The Attorney ele
to under this act receives his pay from the State
red Sheriff is also an officer of the Courts. Your
mittee are advised that the First and Third Mu
paIities have made appropriations to pay the cl
ted IN their respective Courts, but with all due
ETY. ence, your Committee believe, under a mist

don no authority, In the law referred to- for the

ary as consequence resulting from the law, the IL
an. mate inference is, that the fees alone were con
tn plated their pay, is usual in other courts Of
In view OF all the premises, your Committee r,
ne adversely to the claim of Mr. TAYLOR, and a
