FINES FOR CRUELTY.

Humane Society Officer Dan Healy

Yesterday morning the Chinaman was
tried before Justice Henry, found guilty
and fined SO, which he paid.
Under the statute of 1874 all fines col
lected for cruelty to animals shall be
paid to the society formed for the pro-
lection of the same, if such society
exists, and this has been the rule In all
former cases But Assistant District
Attorney j. C. Jones demanded that the
fine received from the Chinaman be
paid into the County Treasury instead.
The Humane Society, through its Sec
retary, F. NJ. Woodson, took issue with
Mr. Jones, and as two Acts relative to
the case were approved on the same day,
and seem to be conflicting, the society
has notified Justice Henry not to turn
over the fine as directed by Mr.. Jones.
This, it is intended, will bring matters
to head, and test suit will be the re-
suit.
The section of the code upon which
Attorney Jones takes his present stand
was approved March 80, 1874, took ef-
feet July 1st, and reads as follows:
Section 1870. All fines and forfeit
ures collected in any court, except Po-
lice Courts. must be applied to the pay
ment of the costs of the case in which
the fine or the forfeiture incurred; and
after such costs are paid the residue
must be paid to the County Treasurer
of the county in which the court is
held"
