The bill of NJ J. Briggs for profession services
defending Peter Pascoe, was reported to the board
with the following written opinion of the district
attorney, to-wt:
To the Committee on Claims =
GENTLEMEN: return herewith the claim of NJ.
j. Briggs ESQ., for professions services in defending
Peter Pascoe. charged with larceny, before Thomas
Carkeek. justice of the peace, and beg to report,
That in my opinion the charge of SIS is reaso1a-
Bile charge for the services rendered but have been
unable to find any law au thorizing and empowering
justices of the peace to appoint counsel to defend
criminals in their courts, and have been unable to
ind any law requiring the board to pay attorneys
for services rendered in defending criminals in JUS
tees courts y request OF justices of the peace.
In my opinion it is not legal claim against the
county and there is no law compelling the beard to
payit.
