Cass County Wins Against City.
Judge Cornish handed down a
decision yesterday in the case of
Cass County against the City of
Plattsmouth, in which the city
was sued for boarding city
prisoners, and for fees of com
mittment of city prisoners to the
county jail. The judgment was
for the sum of $27.70, two dollars
of the amount being for committ
ments. It appears that the law
formerly provided that each
prisoner committed to the county
jail should pay the sheriff a fee
of r0 cents. The controversy
anise partly over the parlies sent
to jail by the city, the committ
ment fee. it, ia contended by the
county, should be paid by I he city.
