JUSTICES' REPORTS OF FINES.
The bill [H. R. 105] relating to the duties of Magistrates was read the second time, and the amendments reported by a Committee concurred in.
Mr. COMSTOCK explained: It was intended to remedy evils important to every County in the State. It provides that Justices of Peace must report fines to County Treasurers semi-annually in writing, when they amount to three times what mileage would be. On his motion, the constitutional restriction was suspended, and the bill pressed to the final vote, and passed the Senate by yeas, 37; nays, 1.
