/ deputies, bur he aow understood the sum To
he between three and four hunired. If it
wss thought wise to repeal the sec
ton relating to commissions from
deputies then the sheriff should have
compensation for what is thu, tasen from
him. and he therefore favpvei the bill to Fl Z
the compensation at three hundred.
