ception, however, may DO noted
In tho case OF tho High School

fore us the whole question OF Justlcsl'
courts and their methods. We found
that Ia the matter OF fees the justices
"a many cases made excessive and un.
lawful charges. Gao Justice cOOlly told
US that tIis was always the practice
except when the amount wac ohhl-
lenged, IA whloh case no 20 ueed tho
charges t. accord with the Law. A U.

tho Justices and commissioners IN this
city did the tAao thiEg. One witness
made oath that Justice Of the peace
acted ne oolisolicn agent and that

money was not credited TO the usbt,
