 We have examined and dismissed the case of the Territory vs. Jere Fryer, ac- cused of voluntarily permitting the escape of prisoner.
 We issued subppnas duces tecum for the several justices of the peace Of the county, commanding them to appear be- fore the Grand Jury, bringing with them their dockets, in obedience to which live of said justices of the peace so appeared and their dockets were examined. We find from an examination of the dockets from April 1st to the present time, that the records are all kept in very unsatls- factory and imperfect manner. That no vouchers appear in any case to show what amount of monies were paid to consta- bles and other officers of the court, other than mere statement of the amount In some cases, and ill the majority of cases no account IS even made of the amount, that ill many instances the justices have nt&leNlCu to CdIIl Out NllS BACh 4oAC-AH Ci Section 1899, Title XXlII.
 That in the docket of Justice Chas. M Marshall we find that in the Territory vs Al. Richardson and James Kremer, the judgment of the court has never been satisfied, which fact we have notified the district attorney and instructed hlm to see that the same be executed.
 That in the docket of F. w. Stlllman we find that in two cases of the territory of Arizona vs J. MonfOrt excessive fees have been charged and collected from the county, amounting in all to the sum of four and 75-100 dollars, which amount we have instructed the district attorney to collect on his official bond.
 That in the docket of Justice John Mil Ter we find that in the case of the Terri tory of Arizona vs. Ramon Duron, where in a fine was imposed and collected, that an excessive charge of one dollar and twenty cents was made.
 That in the docket of Justice Herbert Pinching we find that mileage was charg ed in the case of an inquest held upon the body of an unknown, but for which he was not allowed by the board of SUI ervisors.
 In regard to the dockets of the justices fthe peace we recommend, first; that each and every justice of the peace be furnish ed with a regular justices docket. Second-That each justice shall note on his docket an itemized account of all fees charged by him in their regular or der.
 Third That each justice shall note on his docket an itemiZed account Of all con stable fees, and have the constable en- dorse beneath the same his receipt. Fourth That each justices attention is hereby called to Chapter 2, Title XVIII, entitled "Dockets, Books and Papers, Revised Statutes of Arizona.
