 '-rhe State paid for the removal of all these prisoners charged with felontes. They were all convicted of misdemeancrs and either immediately paid the fines and costs, or there were confessions of judg- ment for the fines and costs, or sentences to hard labor Sor the county therefor. These removal fees should have been taxed, as part of the costs and collected. MT.
