Clerks and others interested in costs in
criminal cases may be profted by reading
the following opinion from the Attorney
General on the proper construction of Sec
ton 2,100 Revised Statutes.
MARCH 20.
Hon. Thos. Holiday, State Auditor-sIR:
Replying to yours of the 9th inst, asking my
opinion in relation to the proper construction
to be placed on Section 2,l00, page 346, Re-
vised Statutes, 1879, ] will state that under
said section if party charged with a crime
is discharged upon his preliminary examina-
ton, the costs are to be paid by the person
tuted, unless the Justice shall certify that
there was probable cause for such prosecu-
ton; and If the party accused is discharged
cusation is liable for such costs,
unless the Grand Jury make like
certificate; # such certificates are properly
forum discharging the prisoner is the only
one that can certify the facts. In other
they alone have the power to certify to the
state of facts which will render the State liza
BILE for the costs, and vica versa. If Grand
against him, under the Statute ths party gt,
causing the pro secution is, ipso facto, made
liable tor the costs; unless they make the Ger:
Jury alone can make this certificate in such
case. 1t can not be made by the Justice be-
had Unless, therefore, this certificate of the
Grand Jury appear to have been made, the
State is not liable for the costs in any case
where the accused has been discharged by
such Grand jury. Very TeSOeCtfullV.
