Indictment of Sheriff Burke, of Baltimore
County.

1t will be remembered that last fall great
deal of excitement prevailed in our neigh
boring county, as well as here in regard to
illegal fees charged and received by the
Sheriffs of the respective counties. The
grand jury of Baltimore county took the mat
ter in hand there, and recently preferred cev-
en- bills Of Indictment in all against Nicholas
Burke, late sheriff, on account of charging
and receiving, as was alleged, more fees for
his services than was allowed by law. The
first case was for receiving ten dollars for
serving bench warrant, where one dollar
was the legal fee This, the first case against
| Sheriff Burke, came up for trial last week be-
tore the Circuit Court at Towsontown. The
Maryland Journal says:
The Indictment in this case was for charg-
ing and receiving the sum of $40 for serving
bench warrant upon Pleasant Hunter Mr.
Hunter in his evidence stated thot the bench
warrant was served upon him H. the Court
House.
Messrs. Gorsuch and McCauley, testified
generally to the fact that in the payment of
Mr.. Burkes bills whatever compensation
was paid him above the fees allowed by law,
NdS Ill tilC vi CAllu dllu
the amount paid was never paid as legal
fee, as the Commissioners were well aware
the fee for serving bench warrant was 81.
They stated that they had had very frequent
conversations upon the whole subject of ex-
ira compensation with Mr.. Burke, and that
they did not suppose that the amount above
81 was considered legally in the light of
fec They had exercised their best judgment
in the compensation for all services performed
by either Mr.. Burke or any one else, who
presented bills to them for payment Meth.
er of the Commissioners gave any evidence
as to any explanations made by Mr.. Burke
in reference to the labor performed in serving
the bench warrant in this particular case |;
but they had paid this bill in the same man
ner that they paid his and all other bills, a
probate being appended to il that it was cor
rect, and in that case they always regarded a
bill which had APPRECIATE as p,inaa tacie evil
dence that it was correct. 1t was guide
the Board had adopted for their protection.
The case was submitted to the court, Judges
Yellott and Walters on the bench, who on
Friday morning rendered judgment of not
guilty therein This is the first of the cases
in which the charge of receiving illegal fees
was made, that has been brought before the
Court, with the result above given.
