Criminal Expenses.

Criminal expenses are now becoming
an alarming item in the budget OF our
parish expenses, and should attract the
serious attention of our Police Jury.
This item alone costs the parish more
than FIVE thousand dollars annually,
nearly one-f fourth of the total taxation
OF Iherville. Most of it is for witnesses
fees. Every criminal that is arrested
has d swarm Of witnesses summoned to
testify to his immaculate purity aud in
nocence, which entails an outrageous
and unnecessary burden upon the.tax-
payers
The Police Jury of st. Mary parish
has taken action. on the subject aud
passed an ordinance limiting the num-
ber Of witnesses in criminal matters to
four for the State and four for the de-
Tense, TO be paid by the parish. We are
not sufficiently sersed in legal matters
to pass an opinion upon this point, but
we have no hesitation in saying that
some rigid measures should be adopted
to curtail this growing evil.-Iberville
