not more than fifty dollars fine or
thirty days Imprisonment was uncon-
stitutional. From this ruling the de-
PENDANTS counsel took an appeal to
the Supreme court.
The ground upon which Judge JUS

upheld the act creating the Asheville
Police Justices court, this decision
raises a very interesting point, espec-
tally to magistrates and court officials
whose fees have been seriously in
