Of seven deputy sheriffs on the same day in
the Municipal Court at 81 per day.
Was the service performed, and. If per-
formed, was that number necessary?
CThe total charge at 81 per day for attending
court with prisoners in the Municipal Court
Tor month OF June amounts TO Sl3l. No
charge is made for attending prisoners in the
district court. Why should the county ne
required TO pay tor like service in the Munic-
ipal Court?
The county employs bailiffs for attending
court and they have control of all prIsoners
while in court. If this is good rule for the
District Court, why should 1t not be applicable
for the Municipal CourtY
Tine courts bailIfs are there, and why
should the presence OF a deputy sheriff be
required?
for bailiffs' attendance with such prisoners
under the SS7 fee bill then he is barred
from charging S3 for bailiff's attendance i'll
court under the law of 1891. Here is one
case in the Municipal Court

Total. ............ .sn.O1
On June 10 Deputy Sheriff Horst was at
tending court as bailif i'll District Court pre-
sided over by Judge Brill, and has already
been paid 2.5J for his services.
On June ~ Deputy Sheriff Courteau served
as bailtf in District Court before Judge Kelly
and has been paid So for his services
i'll point. Peter Daily, young boy, was ar
rested on June 14th, brought into the Mu-
nlcipal Court June 18th, and the County was
charged 500 for that service lie was again
arraigned Oh June 18th. 18th. 2lst and 9th,
for which the County was charged $50, and
this service was performed Gt appears from
the bill) by deputy sheritfs who are being
paid S3.e0 per day for their services as bail
ifs i'll the District Court.
The allowance TO the Sheriff each month
OF $50 % for one night Waterman and two
lows:
The County Commissioners of said County
shall allow the sheriff of said County the
sum of S72l.BJ each per annum as compensa-
ton for one night Waterman and two turn
keys of the Jail. But all bailiffs and deputy
sheriffs attending upon court shall be fur
nished by the Sheriff.
These same Deputy Sher1ffs have bean paid
by Ramsey County for attendance as Balllffs
i'll the District Court OH the same days that
their services are charged for attending
Court with prisoners i'll the Municipal Court.
If we are to allow the Sheriff 500 per day for
attending prisoners in court, we should only
pay for the actual service performed.
The Municipal Court will cooperate with
the Board III stamping out this system of
outrageous charges.
prisoners shall be brought before the Court
and delivered to the Courts BailiffS. and re-
turned to the jail when the case is finished.
This Is nracticing the rule of the District
Court and it should be acceptable to the
Sheriff
l shall insist in all cases that the Court
certify to the presence of the Balliffs. If this
is done l believe two-thirds Of the charges
will cease.
