C. _ • Gentlemen:- Heretofore it ha.a been our custom to check the Sheriff's-bill for ~ail ', fees against the 3ail.book kept by the ;Tailor. A few days ago a complaint wae ma,de that thia record was not correct and when the bill Yor September was received we undextook to check the bill againat the dockets of the Recordere Court and Superior Court with the following result: We find that as a general rule the bill checks with the docket of the , Recorders 8ourt~ but there are cases where a man ie tried in the Recorders Court and takes an appeal or is bound over to the Sup~rior Court in which case we then ~ ~~~ ;,~ : Meeting of October lOth~1932, continued. , ~ - ~ , went to the Clerk of the Superior Court who in~some cases approved the charge but f ~ in others Mr.VJoody tells me he would not do so, stating that the case has not been docketed and he has na inPormation upon ~hich to act. In some cases the Solicitor requests the Sheriff to brink in a prisoner from the farm to be used as a witness. While waiting to be heard the prisoner is put in, ' ~ail and a-chaxge made for hie keep but there is no record against which the bi11 can be checked. ' ' In one case a man wae committed by the Coroner and is still in jail according ' to information secured from the J~ilor. We can of course check the man into ~ail but ~ ~aside fxom verbal information we have no record that he is still there and I am advised that the Superior Court Clerk will not approve this item. • It seema that the Superior Court Judge occasionally commits a prisoner to ,jail Yor a period of several montha to be used by the Sheriff as a helper without any d " . reference as to who shall pay for hi•s keep. There are two.chargea on the September report for rrten so sentenced, one for eighteen months and the Superior Court Clerk has ' . approved theae itema. There ia now a man in ~ail who has been sente'nced to the roads but has so Par • . refused to waive his right of appeal and the.Jailor inform me that the l~w asl.lows.him ; ten daqs to decide this question and that the local representatives of the Highway ~ • Commiaeion will not accept hira until the attacried form is filled out and signed. - The Recordere Court Clerk will approve the bill to the time 'of the sentence but ,~.. beyond that time ia not informed. - , Ja~lor informs me that th~re are caeea in which the Farm Superintendent and , The ~ _ the Steward a,t the Stockade fail to come for prisoners when advised to do so and in theae casee the docket does not go beyond the sentence dste. We find no evidence of any attempt to overcharge other than the long time ~' ~ sentences for men as he~pers fn the ~ail. ~ ~ We will continue to check the ~ail bill by the ~afl record as heretofore unlesa , you direct otherwise; but if it is your deaire that the bill be checked a~ainst the ,~ :', Court Dockets it will be necessary fox you to give us some assistanee by requa.ring - the vaxioua officera involved to keep a more complete record tha.n ha.s been kept , heretofore. • • • Respectfully aubmitted, . - ~ J.A.Orrell.
