Easily Explained

We are informed that Supreme Court
clerk finds ample time to send txecr-
lions to rake the costs. &c, ont of
private individuals. but from some cause
or other the clerk or his Deputy can't
find time to send executions where th9
costs come out Of the r. r. Co. Why
is this thus? Don't the parties that the
Railroad owe want their money. and
can't the clerk find time to return exc
cutions against the r. K Co. as we'll az
against private individuals p Koseiusko
Star.
We are informed by the clerk of the
Supre me Court that the law does nor
require or even authorize him TO issue
executions in civil cases for anything
except the costs accrued in that court
1t ought, therefore, to be matter of
indifference to the public whether he
issues executions or not. The fact is.
that the costs in many cases are paid
without execution, and execution l.
always held up for reasonable time or
the request OF litigants or their after
neys, though such a course causes los.
to the clerk in each case. He has los,
hundreds of dollars in this wav which
by pursuing the course authorized b,
law, he might have collected.
In reference to railroad cases, he eli r
informs us that his cost bills wher
approved by the attorneys are AWAY
oaid, and usually very prom pity Indee
ne gets his money much sooner withor
issuing executions than he would i
-xecutions were issued; because in mos
Instances the sheriff., after eoliectin;
rosls, remit at their convenience, tia
aw allowing them till the return da
mined in the writ, generally rs many -
Tnur months, in which TO make remi
raRces But this method of collectin
rom the railroad is adopted in all cas-.
when requested, tho' gh as stated. !
Involves loss to the clerk in each cas-,
| In the usual course of business a
executions belonging to a particul:,
district are issued at the same time. Ia,
the request of parties in interest. Il,
;ierk sometimes issues executions out 6
the usual order. He has freqnenll
lone this for other litigants, but h..
never done it for railroad companies
The clerk further informs us that
The circumstances on which the ST.
grounds its omplaint be stated, h
feels assured that he can explain the l
% easily and so satisfactorily that IT,
person who originated the complain
viii himself be satisfied that the clerk
not at fault.
