ceadine 500 per annam for purchasing


ceeding 500 per anhtm for purchasing
fuel for the jails.
It was Mr.. Wingfeld's bill introduced
to meet special case in Albemarle, and
county after county was added IN.
1t appeared in the remarks made that
many of the boards now do this very
thing: make allowances to the sheriff for
Jail fuel.
Mr. Berry opposed the bill as an attempt
to do ndirectly-increase the sheriff 8
pay what should be done, if done at all i,
directly.
Mr. Wlckham thought there was law
enough already on the subject; but if the
authority is given to one county and not
to others, then it would seem that the
General Assembly is coudemning the pres
ent practice.
Mr.. Glasgow, who had had several coun-
ties put in the bill. admitted that he wish
ed the bill overloaded and defeated !;
against which course MIR. Wing6eld pro-
tested.
MIR. Glasgow then withdrew his amend
ments.
Other senator's withdrew theirs. and the
bill was left applicable only to Augusta
and Albemarle counties.
MIR. Wickham said that 10 voting for
this bill he did so as favor to those coun-
ties; not as denial of the right of boards
now to make this allowance.
