CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.
On the motion of Mr. HUGHES, the House returned to Mr. Hamilton's Attorney Salary bill [H. R. 77] for the 16th Judicial Circuit, the question being on Mr. Newcomb's motion for unanimous consent to insert these words: "in the discretion of the proper Board of County Commissioners."
Mr. HUGHES proposed to substitute these words for those proposed by Mr. Newcomb: "Provided the County Commissioners of the proper county shall, by a general order entered of record, assent to the same, and said order shall be irrevocable by the same or any subsequent Board of Commissioners."
After debate by Mr. NEWCOMB and Mr. HUGHES -
Mr. NEWCOMB withdrew his amendment, and objected to the amendment by Mr. Hughes; the rules of the House requiring unanimous consent to amend a bill on the final reading.
The bill was then passed the House of Representatives - yeas 62, nays 16 - with an amendment of title, viz: "An Act to increase the salary of prosecuting attorneys in the criminal courts, and providing for payment of the same out of the county treasuries."
