Charging Excessive Fees.

Yesterday one of those suits in which q
woman's shame is partially satisfied by placing
the responsibility for it upon the man accused,
was compromised In the Circuit Court. 1t came
up on transcript from Esquire Feb lemans
court The defendant agreed to pay $50 and
costs, but as to the latter his attorney raised a
question as to correctness, which revealed how
fee bills are run up by constables and magis-
trates. From the magistrates fees Judge Ayres
deducted $40. twothirds of the bill Esquire
Fiebleman admitted the error which
arose from charging for the womans
original statement fled with the
transcript. and for which no fee is allowed. and
also for recording the statement the magis-
trates record. which is not required. Constable
Moore's fees, however, showed more conspicuous
peculiarities. He charged, it appears % cents
for personal service of subp9nas, and % cents
for drawing copy. Where personal service is
made no copy is required but the constable
used both on the same persons, thus in seven
instances increasing his hill $3.50, when the law
allowed him only 81 40; for serving subp@nas in
cases of this kind 20 cents for each is the legal
rate. Again, the witnesses. it was charged
all in the city, and could have
been readily served without excessive
mileage, but the constable said he Travelled
twenty miles in the service, and charged there
fore So. He claimed So for serving a warrant on
defendant, who worked in the l., b. q W. rail
road yards. The law allows % cents for service
ten cents for return, ten cents for each mile
travelled. Taking the service and return fee
from the So, S. IS represents mileage. or. il
other words, Constable Moore, it is claimed
went twenty-sX miles to the railroad yards to
arrest the defendant The court took off five
dollars from the constables fees.
