pamphlet laws, and asking II the Office is stip
TO be governed by section s52, Revised Stat.
utes. The Comptroller furnished his reply last
Monday and says that his conclusion is that
the fees OF jurors In the United States courts OF
the District Of Columbia have been reduced to
- day by the amendment on page 254 Of the
Statutes.at- Large, volume 10, amending sec
tion s73 Of the Revised Statutes relating to the
District of Columbia, All payments by you
should be at the said reduced rates" Section
s73 of the Revised Statutes relating to the
District, as amended, reads Jurors arc enti-
tied to the same compensation rs received for
their attendance in the Circuit and District
Courts of the United States by act Of February
20, 1853" And the clause Of the act of Feb
ruary %, 1853, Is as follows: Jurors fees
For actual attendance at any court or courts
s. per day during such attendance"
1t would appear from this decision that since
the 9th Of February last all jurors that have
been paid 80 per diem, and mono are known to
have received less have received 81 aday more
than the law allowed. As the time when this
excess In payment began was back to the term
of Marshal Alex. sharp's administration of
that Office, and as that officers accounts have
been passed In the Treasury Department as
correct, II Is difficult to see what remedy can
br Spi,isa tc recover the amount overpaid.
The recent discovery OF the change In the ex-
isting law was wholly through nccidei;', aud
while Marshal Douglass has paid OIL the jury
men for one term and for portion Of the pres.
ent one at the rate Of 50 per man per day, 1t
would have been more satisfactory to that
officer to have known Of the reduction in the
amount Of salary before he settled with any of
the jurors. II Is believed that relief for the
over disbursement can only come through Con-
gress, which body he will doubtless petition.
The gentlemen at present serving as jurymen
do not appreciate the reduction, and have Sc.

The Fined junk Dealer.

Louis Baer was before the Police Court yes
terday, charged with purchasing rubber-hose,
valued at $3.50, stolen from Michael Foley by
a boy named Henry Fitzgerald, knowing 1t to
have been stolen. The hose was purchased
from the boy for twelve cents. This case is
the one that was tried some days ago and the
accused was fined $50 and costs. At the for
mer trial there were no witnesses for the de-
fensc examined, and yesterday the case was
rcopcned by request of defendants counsel,
Mr.. J. r. Mcconnell, In order that the wit
nesscs for the defense might be examined. The
defendant put several witnesses on the stand
(all of whom with the exception Of two OF
three arc In Baer's employ to prove that the
boy never sold tho hose to Baer, but the boy
insisted that he did, and the Judge reaffirmed
his Judgment. The defendant took an appeal
and gave bond in the sum of 500.

NOT YET BANKRUPT.
The Capital Publishing Company Answering
Mr.. Hill.

Mr.. Hill.
The case of George Hill, jr, paper manufac-
turer Of Georgetown, pctitioning that the
Capital Publishing Company bo adjudgcd
bankrupt, came up before Justice Humphreys
yesterday, on q rule laid oil the respondents to
show cause why the petition should not be
granted.
The respondents In filing their answer set
forth the following: They admit that the petit
toner has in his possession notes Of tho re-
spondent, which they suppose are correctly set
out, but deny that they are provable in bank
ruptcy or elsewhere against them, as they
charge that these notes were fraudulently OBJ
tained. They then rciterate the charge of
conspiracy between the petitioner and Joseph
NJ. Brown at the time of the fraudulent work
ing and delivery of the notes to Mr.. Hill and
in furtherance Of that conspiracy they cite the
falsifying and mutiating OF the Capital pub
fishing companys books
The respondents deny that within six
months preceding the date Of the petition
they committed the acts Of bankruptcy as
stated, and all other charges against them, eS-
cepting to omit paying n promiss0ry note,
dated March 26, 1877, due thirty days after
date. The respondents further deny that the
petition constitutes one fourth in number Of
| the creditors Of the defendant, whose claims
exceed $3.50, and that the aggregate of the
debts due amount to one third Of all the debts:
provable against them, and cite the following
Hon. II. b. Banning, Cincinnati, Ohio 5000,
for which he holds a promissory note; the cs-
tate Of the late Simeon NJ. johnson, Nelly r.
johnson, executrix, 5000, promissory notes
given; Jno. Evans, 5000, promissory notes
given; Austin Kirby, Cincinnati, Ohio, g., 600,
promissory notes given; VIM. +. Hook, $500,
promissory notes given.
The respondent denies that It is insolvcnt
and alleges its ability to pay all debts, and,
offers to pay any just Indebtedness which may
be due from the company to Mr.. Hill on any
just account which may be had between
| them.

simply, not in the capacity Of the Capita

pemoralI,ing a Funeral Procession.

John Grouse, the driver Of a bottled beer
wagon, was before Judge Smell yesterday,
charged with driving through q funeral pro-
cession at the intersection Of New York avenue
and North Capitol street northwest, Monday
afternoon. Is appears that Grouse not only
drove through the funeral procession but ran
into one of the carriages, breaking the harness
and causing the horse to become unmanageable,
so much so that the drivers Of the other car
riages had to go to the assistance Of the driver
who was run into. When expostulated with
by the undertaken, J. W. Barker, Grouse
cursed him and threatened to knock him in
the head. The accused stated to the Court
that it was impossible for him to hold the
horse as he was frightened and going at full
speed. The Court said that bad and dan
gerous horse had no business on the street,
and that funeral professions should not be
molested in any manner, and he fined Grouse
ten dollars,
