Hard on the u. Prs

The grand jury of Copiah county thus
sails into some of the justices of the
peace of that county:
Justices of the peace are the only county
officials that have given this grand jury
any cause for complaint. They fail to send
up the papers in felony cases-at least some
of them do-and leave us absolutely in the
dark as to the witnesses, the ~offenses with
which parties are charged, consequently
we found two persons confined in Jail
against whom there was not a single wit
ness known to the grand jury, and no way
to ascertain their names or whereabouts.
We find on their dockets numerous fines
just large enough "to carry the costs" In
M case we find a fine of s cents, with q
cost bill of several dollars accompanying
it. Surely no man should be convicted
merely to collect costs, and we are con-
strained to suggest that a fine collected for
any other purpose than to infict deserved
legal punishment is cruel and unjust. A
majority of the fines on some of these
dockets range from so cents down, with the
ever-present cost bills riding It,"

PRIVATE BANKERS LIAsLE.
Must Pay State Tax on Discounted Notes.

Judge We.ss filed an opinion Thursday
last which is of great importance to all
private bankers throughoutthe Common
wealth. For the year 1896 Mexican coun-
ty made return to the Board Of Reve-
nue. Commissioners of the gross amount
Of personal property subject to taxation
for State purposes in that county, from
which they excluded sl93,7O Of notes
discounted by the private banking firm
of Hamlin IL Sons, of Smethport, Pa,
immunity from taxation upon the amount
OF these notes being claimed under the
proviso of section | of the revenue act of
June s, 1891. enumerating the subjects Of
the personal property tax for State pur-
poses, bonds, mortgages, notes, agree
ments for the sale Of real estate, shares Of
stock, &c, which provides that "this sec
ton shall not apply to bank notes or
notes discounted by any bank or bank
ing institution, savings institution or
trust company" The action was an ami
cable one, brought TO determine whether
or not, under this provisc, Hamlin q
Sons were required 10 return and pay the
State tax of four mills upon notes dis
counted by their bank. The Court, dis
cussing the question at some length, con-
cludes that while incorporated banks and
trust companies are within the purview
of this proviso, private individuals Gu
gagged in the banking business are not,
and must pay tax upoa this class Of Sc
curities, aud that Hamlin & Sons should,
therefore, have returned the local assess
ors of Mexican county the notes and 9th
er securities held by them. and have paid
a four-miIls tax thereon to the County
Treasurer. Judgment is therefore rem
dered in favor Of the Commonwealth and
against the county for S767.O5.
