1t will thus be seen that no person has
been charged as much as the law allows
and if the Magistrate has given any OF his
fees to the police no one has been wronged
but himself No member of the police
department ever claimed any fees. What
ever they received was gift from the Mag
lstrate, not fees from prisoners, for prison
ers have never been charged as much as

as has been practiced under other Magis-

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, Dee 23 1873
To the Editor Of the Union:
Your article in relation to police fees
shows ignorance of the facts and particu-
larly as to their application, it they were
true, The law allows me the following
fees: For affidavit, 50 cents; for writ or
summons, IS cents for docketing suit,
81 so; for trial fee, So. Total s. 70. In
dependent of this | am entitled to charge
FIVE cents for each oath administered You
say | have been charging as fees $3 so
which is 81 20 less than the law allows me
saying nothing about the fees for admin
istering oaths.
Allowing that policeman receives fifty
cents for arrests and fifty cents for witness
fees, the prisoner then pays 81 50,which il
20 cents less than the law allows.
No prisoner has been required to pay a
much as the law authorizes me to collect
while very large proportion of the pris
oners arrested do not pay any fees at all

2TlHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the sam e
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for tn
risk Of life in the West Indies, and suff-
ent to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
PIC per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
siye Premiums as are charged by every
toher Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
