In order that there might be no misunderstanding
as to the true facts in regard to the expense of criminal
prosecutions, | obtained from the Clerk of the Court and
from the Justice of the peace records a complete statement
of all criminal costs in the cases tried in those courts.
l find that the total expense of District Court cases
amouts to $6,07S.07; and that those in the Justice Courts
aggregate $~1,660.30, making a total of 81, 1887. This
includes all expenses of jury fees, witness fees, sherif's
trips, etc.
