Reese v. State
Reese v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was arrested on a warrant issued by the judge of *431 the inferior court of Bessemer, established by act of the Legislature of 1915, Loc. Acts 1915, p. 134, which warrant was returnable to the fifth division of the circuit court of Jefferson county, and was based on an affidavit made before the judge of the inferior court charging the offense of carrying a concealed weapon, of which offense the inferior court did not have jurisdiction to try and determine.
“To establish an inferior court in precincts 2 and 33 in Jefferson county, Alabama, said precincts lying within or partly within the city of Bessemer, in lieu of all justices of the peace in said precincts, and to define the jurisdiction and power of the said court, and of the judge, clerk and other officers .thereof, and to provide for a place for holding the same.”
Section 5 of the act provides:
“The fees and costs now allowed by law to justices of the peace, in said Jefferson county, shall be taxed and collected as now provided by law, etc.”
This provision related to and was cognate to the subject, and therefore is valid. Ballentyne v. Wickersham, 75 Ala. 536; State ex rel. City of Mobile v. Board of R. R. Com’rs, 180 Ala. 489, 61 South. 368; McGehee v. State, 199 Ala. 287, 74 South. 374; Hails v. State, ante, p. 132, 75 South. 724; Windham v. State, ante, p. 383, 77 South. 963.
It is next insisted that the fees allowed this court are in violation of subdivision 21, § 104, of the Constitution. This question is^ expressly decided, adversely to appellant, in" McGehee’s Case, supra.
We find no merit in the contention of ap-; peliant that the bill was not properly advertised. A comparison of the act with the advertisement shown in the House Journal shows that the advertisement set out the entire bill.
There is no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
