PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS.
Mr. Miller, from the Committee on the Judiciary, returned his bill [H. R. 540] to authorize Prosecuting Attorneys to prosecute the pleas of the State before Justices of the Peace, and providing for their compensation, with amendments striking out the second section, because of redundancy - the salary being provided in the fee bill. It provides that prosecutors may take the place of District Attorneys in State cases before Justices of the Peace. The amendments were concurred in, and then, there being a dispensation on the motion of Mr. Miller, the bill was finally passed the House of Representatives; yeas 73, nays 0; with amendment of title by striking out the words "regulating their compensation therefor."
