Ono result of the workings OF tho
system is we'll shown In bills for costs
made out In certain cases. When these
costs arc attached TO fines. they are
usually paid without dernur as the
person affected prefers TO have no pub

no redress.

cor is In receipt OF a capias nro fine

been too little or too much. But to

cannot afford TO work for nothing
The sheriff collected tho money. The
finee Kicked but to no purpose, and
he had rather pay than protest pub
licIy. The public treasury gets $40 and
other people get sos. Such Is the fee
system.
