of the estate vs.. Alex Marion" this trial JUS
tice charged, and collected of the county, one
dollar for trial, though the case is one of those
in which nol pros. is entered. In the case of the
Estate vs. Alex smith," this trial justice collect
ed the costs of the county, though the entry, as to
disposition of the case, is: "Not pros. entered
defendant promising to pay cost" The fine OF
one dollar imposed on Hector Love, July 8, 1881,
has not been paid to the treasurer In the case
Of the Estate vs.. Geo. Lee" the entry on the
docket is "guilty," and the sentence ''to pay all
COSTS In the accounts presented, this case is
marked, mot guilty." and the costs-$2.4O
lected of the county.
w. D. CAMP, Blacks Station.-Twenty cases
have been the criminal docket Of this trial JUS
tice, since the lst day of January last. In two of
them this trial justice collects five dollars each,
as for "proceedingsin bastardy," from the county.
Those charges are not correct HI has paid over
ten dollars for fines entered. We also find en-
try of twenty five dollars as fine against Char.
ley Canada, which it does not seem the trial JUS
tice ever received Why? He can, doubtless, ex-
plain. Other charges correct.
S. l.. DAVIDSON, Bulock's Creek.-Seventeen
cases have been entered on the criminal docket OF
this trial justice since the lst day of January last
Disposition: Withdrawn, without costs to the
county, seven; guilty, three open, (no entries),
three; not guilty, two: and took bonds to keep
the peace, two, Fines, thirteen dollars, which
have been paid over to the treasurer. All charges
correct, except one-twenty-tive cents, instead OF
twenty cents-for commitment.
G. G. LEEcH, Hickory Grove.-Sixteen cases
have been entered on the criminal docket of this
trial justice since the 1st day of January last
Disposition Not guilty, six guilty, five; sent up
two compromised one; and lunatic, one
(The disposition Of one entry has been omitted
herefrom, through oversight.) Charges on book
two items In Estate vs. Jerry Mess" Sl.5O
"subpoenas for jury;' and in Estate VS.. Nancy
Jackson" Sl.56, "jury tickets" We suppose
these items may represent sums paid to the jury
d. NJ. WALLACE Bethel.-Eight cases are en-
lst day of January last. Disposition Not guilty
four; and guilty, four. Charges on books are al
correct, so far as the county is concerned, except
one charge Of twenty-five cents, instead of twenty
cents, for commitment. In two OF the cases
being proceedings in bastardy," the defendants
gave bond and the trial justice collected of eacf
five dollars as his costs. Though the committee
have no sympathy for the defendants, duty bids
them to present the charges as incorrect The
book of this trial justice has been very nicely and
neatly kept. In presenting his account to the
county commissioners, he only drew fifty pc,
centum thereof, which was error against himself
We find one or two improper charges in the ac
count. Still he has received less than the sum tc
which he is justly entitled. ...- .........
w. ]. WHITE, Coates Tavern.-Seven cases
have been entered on the criminal docket of this
trial justice since February 5, 1881. Disposition
Guilty, four; not guilty, two sent up, one. In
five of the cases the trial justice entered charge
OF TWO collars 1Or nfut, ana Ill IOllT cndTSe D
sixty cents for issuing summons for the jurors
He also enters, sixteen times charge Of fifty
cents for WITNESS" which entry we do not un
derstand. The fines imposed aggregate fifteer
dollars, no part of which has been paid over tc
the treasurer The account presented to the
county commissioners, as against the county, has
not yet been audited or paid, and the commission
ers have been notified not to pay the same. Ir
it, the trial justice gives the county 'credit" fol
the fifteen dollars, amount Of fines; but his &C
count, when properly made out, will not amount
to that sum. This plan of giving the county
'credit" has rot, as we understand it, the sanction
of the law.
