METHODS TO BE CHANGED.
Acceptance of Collateral by Prosecutor
in Certain Cases Forbidden

The Commissioners have been considering
the way in which cases have been treated
in the office of the prosecuting attorney for
the District at the Police Court, and
change in the practice will result. Com
missioner Mcfarland, who has taken an
especial interest in this matter, has made
inquiries as to the law and the facts from
those familiar with the subject, and he is
satisfied that the practice which has OBJ
tanned fer a long time of settling cases out
of court and of reducing collateral, i'm
posed under the direction of the Police
Court at the police stations, is not justi-
fable in law, and is wrong in itself.
He approves the treatment of this matter
which has been given by Second Assistant
Corporation Counsel Sinclair during his
temporary service as prosecutor for the
District, of not reducing collateral already
imposed, and of bringing all cases before
the court except those in which, upon ex-
animation of the evidence presented for
the District he felt convinced that the Dis
trct did not have a prIma facie case and
so was compelled to enter a nolle prosequi
On Commissioner Macfarlands motion
