B. VAL Pssiisnt Of tie Senate:
al hsve examined the bill entitled " An act
I.;sd an act to prov de for the appointment Of
sn'tsr. in and for provisional municipalities, and
..o6.6ne their jurisdiction aud powers, and here
~ r,turn the same to tue Senate, in which it
MINATED; VIZ with my objections thereto.
sscton of tue bill provides as follows: In
c,sr tried before such recorder, docket fee
sftvo do lar, shall be charged aud p'id the re-
O1'd.r and be taxed costs in the case ag ,inst
Nc nlrty condemned to ply the same"
Tho Cou.t tuition, section IA, OF the Declaration
,Riyht," provides that mo person shall be
,mnrllcd to pay costs except after conviction on
SnI trl." The recorder, therefore, would have
nsuthori,y to condemn a party accused To pay
nn;d,cket lee until after conviction. Aud il the
oner construction OF the said section Is that the
Yrorts the rty con ienned to ply the same" 70.
Sr 10 the accused the pay of the recorder would
s.depen lieut. apon CONVICTION, and he would Mt be

vould he a doubtful construction OF the language
s.ed which is scar ely that hich would have been
sAoptcd nad it been the intention to leave it dis
~,tonary with the recorder t. tx his docket fee

would bear such construction, the objection would
attain tina there would be entire uncertainty as

snce should be conservatOr OF the peace, direct
interest 10 the municipality OF viol tiOns Of the law
and the procuring Of business for his court to add
tobs revenue. 1t may be answered that If an hon.
at man held the position (and none other should
Ne appoiuted) no harm would result. In reply
hereto it may be said that the hest and purest Of
