whether or not the Sherifs of the different
counties were entitled to the fees which
they received for taking convicis to the
different State prisons and lunatics to the
esylums.
At the last session of the Legislature a
bill was passed emitting the Sheriffs of the
different counties TO the fees, but hereto
fore the law did not read that way, and the
money should have been turned into the
County Treasures. 1t seems, however.
that, for some years, a number of Sheriffs
have been in the habit of pocketing the
ices themselves, aid the District Attorney
asks Tor information on the suhjecr.
The Attorney General, in his opinion,
says that if they have been appropriating
the fees to their own use. prior TO the time
the Act was passed this year, they have
violated the law, and suits can be COM
menced and they be compelled to forfeit
the money they received. AT the present
time, however, the Sherifs are entitled to
the fees.

ARE THEY Legal
Steamship Company Objects to the
Quarantine Fees.

A Steamship Company Objects to tho
Quarantine Fees.
Some few days ago Goodall, Perkins &
Co. of San Francisco wrote to Attorney
General Johnson stating that they had been
having considerable controversy recently
with the Quarantine Officer at San Fran
cisco in reference to the imposition of tax
by him upon the company for the privilege
of landing freight and passengers from
their steamers. Goodall, Perkins G. Co
think that the law under which the Quar-
antine Officer is acting is unconstitutional
in that it does not say he must collect, but
simply that he may collect fees. Their
attorney did not think the fees could be
legally enforced. and the matter was laid
before the Attorney General.
Attorney-General johnson says that un
der the provisions of the Political Code the
steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company. though not sailing
under register, are liable to the quaran-
tine fees under Section 1920 of the Political
Code. And as for the claim that the Sec
ton is unconstitutional by reason of the
commercial clause in the Federal Constitu-
ton, he could not advise that such is the
case. while he had q reasonable doubt on
the subject.
