Mr.. Editor:-The foregoing cores
pondence naturally suggests some in
quiries:
The aforesaid security was in the pos
session of Esquire Scofield from the Sth
day of July until the lst day of October.
In the meantime the bill of costs is pre-
sented, allowed by the County Judge, and
paid out of the Treasury. Why was this
ample security not made available? Why
was if not levied upon and sold to satisfy
said costs?
Is there any law in our statute book
that authorizes the Court of Sessions to
receive galvanized watches in pledge for
money which it pays out of the Treasury
And if the County Judge intends to
convert the Court of Sessions into a
Pawn Brokers establishment, or a corpo-
ration for the purpose of dealing in watches
and jewelry-would it not be well to
secure the services of competent and
skiIful judge of such articles. One who
would not advance $l1S, on an article
worth less than fifty.
