the treasury Without law or Constitution as
Church believes Accordingly this morning the Senate
unanimously adopted this resolution of inquiry the in
stance Of Senator Smith
Resolved That the Comptroller be requested TO report
70 te senate wheer any o. the judges Of the supreme
Court have made charges against the State for services
their official capacity, aside from their salaries and So
for what amount any was paid, and the names Of the
Judges presenting such claim.
This inquiry need extend back farther than the OF
January, 1s47 when the presen, constitution went into
effect, because under the old was generally con-
coded that Judges allowed pay for Certain
services rendered of the bench. II is remark
able feature In this case, that within few days subse-
qusn, 70 the time when Comptroller Church refused TO
give the Judges extra pay tina, tie opinion Of the A,or
