Our Police Jury should make
themselves familiar with the pro-
visions of the act recently passed
relative to the number of witnesses
allowed in criminal cases, and be
in a position to prevent the un-
necessary expenditure of the peo-
pies money. The law permits six
witnesses for either side, except in
unusual cases, where either side can
upon written application to the
Judge, declaring what they expect
to prove; summon six more wit
nesses, which would make twelve
the maximum number allowed in
any one case.

At the recent session of the
State Legislature there was an act
passed, providing for the refundingt to
incorporated towns of certain Por-
tons of the licenses and taxes paid
into the parish treasury. The jour
nails feeling any interest in such
towns would be rendering a great
service by publishing the law in full,
SO that we could know just what our
rights are, and what to expect.
Such law is only right and just,
and would enable those towns pos
sessing ordinary enterprise, to adj
vance and devise much benefit
therefrom.
