JURORS PAID ILLEGALLY FOR YEARS.

The jurors for November and December, 1854 in IN
the Court of General Sessions. were not paid TOT
their services because the appropriation had been
exhausted, principally by the long session OF the
Grand Jury which investigated C9mmlssloner
Thompson The Board of Estimate and Apportlon-
ment. however, allowed $500 for the deficiency
and the jurors we're to be paid to-day. When a. inc
checks were sent to Controller Loew by Chief CLERK
Sparks the Controller found, after examining the
law that the statute providing for the payment GI
the jurors had been repealed III 1917. ana that u'
ity Of law. The Code Of Civil Procedure however
provides that the Board of Supervisors Tor In New
York the Board of Aldermen tx the pay OF the Jul,
rors. Recorder Smythe and Judges Cowing ana
Gilderseeve accordingly united in requesting THO
Aldermen to provide for the payment OF the Jurors
at the rate of So day. Alderman Is. T. Morgan ac-
cordingly introduced last Monday n resolution hx-
ing that rate. but uader the rules tho resolution
was laid over until tho ncxt meeting Ihe jurors
who expect their pay to-day, will therefore be ls-
appointed. Tho repeal of the law about jurors ices
was embodied, it is said, in some Legislation aDoul
