WITNESS FEES.
Mr. M'SHEEHY'S bill [H. R. 117] concerning witnesses subpenaed on part of the State in civil cases, required to attend outside of the County in which the witness resides, was read the third time.
Mr. M'SHEEHY--When this bill first came up it met with strong opposition. It simply provides that witnesses shall receive $1 per day for attending cases and five cents a mile. It also excludes trials before Justices of the Peace. The measure is a just one, and I hope the bill will pass.
The hill passed--yeas, 64; nays, 16.
