out fmni tbe shadow of the side of the

and brought tbe animal to a sudden halt.
He expected them te step taek to the buggy
and deiusni uon-y, but they did not do so.
They said, "we iiJAe stopped you to aay

Also filtv cents in similar suit against John

In the case of vagrauts, the record of hia

Justice 50r'l84, Joseph Robison

one of the Justices of the Feace, iu aud for
the county of Juniata, of bring an idle crip
ple vagrant, ging about the streets of Mif

night, contrary to tbe act of General As
sembly, in each case made and provided.
vt Hereupon, I, tbe said J usiice, do sentence
bim, the said Joseph Robison, to the com

twelve hours at hard labor.
Given under uy hand and teal, at Mifflin-

mitmeui issued. Calm Pakkei Seal.
1 ke m literal exceptions to tbe proceedings
before tbe trial justice, are, to tbe eOect,
that the amount claimed by the plaintid' ia
greater than allowed bv the act ol Assembly
and that tbe eounty i not liable in the case
of tramps committed, aud thee, afterwards
discharged ou a bearing before the justice,
that is not a discharge according to law.
Tramps and vagrants aie criminals. The
proceedings bad in relerence to their com
mitment are by virtue of criminal law. At
common law, the Kiug, and in this country,
tbe Commonwealth, and distinctively the
eouuty, pays no costs in criminal proceed
ings. In sncb cases costs are of statutory
origin. In tbe caa of the county of Frank
lin va. Conrad, 12 C, 317 Woodwaid C. J.
says, -Tbe recovering and payment of cets
in criminal cases are as entirely dependant
on statutory regulations in Pennsylvania,
that it is indespensable for every claimant
to be able to point to the statute which en
titles him to receive what h claims.

County Seat, to compel attendance under

against most assuredly. This court cannot
do it, we construe but do notmake the law."
Can tbe pi lintifT point to tbe statute which
entitloa hi;x to receive what he claims t in
respect to hi claim for tbe commitment of
tramps we think not. The only statute on
this sujbect is an act to define and punish
tramps, approved, toe :K):h Jy of April
1879, and tins is sileut in regard to costs,
see P. L. page 83, the Clth section of ihe
aatof31stof March, 1800 Perdon 391-C7
vrovidcs, that, '-in all casea of convic
tion ef any crime, all casta .hail be paid
by tbe party convicted, but when such pirty
shall have been dichargd according to law
without payment or costs, the costs wtin.ll
be paid by tbe county." Assaming forth
preseut, that the tramps were duly con
victed aid discharged, accordiig to law,
nevertheles, the section above referral to
applies only to costs oa bills o' indictment,
and nut to convictions aa 1 costs belore
justices. The cases or tb eoimtv of Nor
thampton v. Weal, 47, 173 and'eounty ol
Cumberland vs. Holconib, 12 C, 349 were
decided while the act of 21 Ft brn'y 1767 was
in force, and prior to tbe passage ef the
act of 1800. Iu Gilkysou vs. County of
B rks, 8 Norris, 22, the point as to tbe con
struction of the ct of 1G0 was rot raised
arid the case was dicided against the plain
tiff on the gronnd that the party convict t
was not lawfully discharged, but tho very
point was raised and appear to have been
decided in the ca of Crawford county vs.
Brr, 11 Norris, 39. That wa acase stat
ed. Tbe facts wero thM Lafayette Barr, a
justice of ihe peace, convicted a defendant
charged with violating the act ef 24lh March
1878, for the preventing of trespassing upon
railway trains, and so forth, aud seuUcced
him to pay a fine of $5 aud cosfa. and to be
imprisoned in tbe county jail for a period
of 10 days, and the defendant was discharg
ed by direction of the county commission
ers, without fine or costs being paid by tbe
convict. It wa objected that the offense
committed was not a crime within the
meaning of tbe 6tth sec., of the act of 18C0,
and that tbe defeudant was unlawfully dis
charged. Mr. Justice Trunkey says, that
section, "on its face applies to Costs en bills
of indictment, it is part of an act directing
tbe procedure in courts of Oyer and Tor
miner and Quarter Sessions, and said aet ia
silent as to convictions and cost before
Justices. The claim relied on as making
the county liable in this, and like cases, i
taken from tbe act of 1814, which was lim
ited to tbe oourts therein nam-d. Nothing
in the report of the code commissioners
indicates a purpose to extend the liabilities
of the county to convictions before Justic
es, and we see no raisou for taking a claim
out ol a sentence which constitutes tli- sec
tion, aud giving it a construction it would
not bear iu its proper place. Tbe detached
clause may be separated without destroying
its sense, yet it must be interpreted in it
trne relation. It may be wiihin Uij iutcud
meiit of tbe consolidated statute to continue
the liauili'.y which was imputed by the act
of 1791, but, luai.iteat'.y tue.e was co in
tention to include case of conviction be
fore Justice, punishable oa:y l? snip's
imprisonment. tic further say luo uo
feudant waa not discLaxged according to
law and the plaintiffcouil nctrccotrer, evr
if the county were liable, In such a case,
after a iawiul discharge without payment
fecsts.'
Now is tho present ease, not only it there
bo statute entitling the plaintiff to recover
bis claim, but even if there were, still there
was bo eonviction of the tramps and lawfnl
discharge after expiratloa of aentence.
Tbe first section of the act of 30th April,
1879, defines a tramp, and makes his of
fense a misdemeanor, punishable by im
prisonment "for not more that 12 months
ta fA alueresioa of ihe court." The fourth
section provides "for his arrest, and
bearing belore a justice, and a discharge or
commitment or triul as in the caae of a
misdemeanor. Tbe act does not content
plate a commitment (or lodging, and a sub
sequent trial ieort the juelice and a dis
charge from imprisonment. It regards tbe
tramp aa a ci inline! and provide, for bis
punishment, its purpose is the .uppres.ien
of vice, and not to encourage it at the pub
lic expense. "The jail ia not an alms bous,
and jailor cannot be administrators of poor
fund," County of Cumberland vs. Hole
conrt, 12 C, 854. Gilkysou vs. Connty of
Bucks, 3 Norris 26.
Nor is the plaintiff any better entitled to
bis cost in th caae of vagrancy. The 32d
section or the 13th June, 1836 Purdoo, p,
1453 detlnes vagrants, and provides that
they shall b liable to the penalties imposed
by law. T&at act do, not of itself per
scribe any penalties, its purpose is the en
actment of poor laws. Tba peualtios im
posed by law were to be foaad iu the first
section of the act of 21st February, 17G7
Purdon, p, 1453, pi, 2, Sec. 1 3 mith Laws
268. After defining who are idle and diaor
derly persons it provide for thir ouvio
tion before a justice of the peace, and com
mitment to the work house or jail, thare to
be kept at bard labor for any time not ex
ceeding one month. Bat the first section
of tbe same act of 1767 is repealed, aud
va. before tbe plaintiff's alleged caase of
action, by the act of May 17, 13J, P. L.
page 85, and the fid section of the act of
lMth June, 1836, as also the remainder of
tbe said act ot 17C7 re atiag to th'si nHect
have been supplied by tbe act of 8th May,
1876, aud all acts or parts of acta iucoasis
tent therewith were thereby repealed. See
P. L. page 154. It is entitied, "an act- to
define and auppres vagrancy," and is so
far as we are aware, sow tbe only statute
in force on the aubject. Tbe ssventb sec
tion provides for the fees of th officer
"lor each correct hearing or commitment
made uuder Mil act." Tbi section waa
amended by the act of Id May, 187S, and
subsequently tbe fee or justice or the
peace were fixed at 25 eta., by the act of
13th May, 1879, and all act. or parts ef acts
inconsistent therewith are repealed, P. L.
of 1879, page 64. But the act et tbe 8th
May, 1876, pro ides in th second section
that any person convicted of violating that
act aball be commitud "to labor upon any
county farm, or upon the roads and high
ways of any city, township fr borough, or
ia any house of correction, poor house,
work house or common jail, for a term vf
not Uit than thirty iy aud not exceeding
six months and ao forth. Now it i. mani
fest that a aentence to the common jail ot
Juniata county for the terua of twelve heure
at bard labor, is not a commitment uad
tbat act, nor under aay law in existence that
we are aware of. Tbe sentence being with
out warrant or iaw, a rod tbe commitment
illegal the county cannet be made cbarg-
ealile with tbe cost. Morever, it is sppar
ent that tbe couniitnsnBt was made for the
benefit ot the vagrant instead of in paaish
ment of his offense. Tbe county ia made
to suffer and the cmuiual is indulged. Nut
so is vice suppressed, and the rights of the
commonwealth protected. In every civi
lized community lawa ra enacted in relief
of the poor and unfortunate. Toe humane
lawa of thia Commonwealth are ample for
tbst purpose. But tramps and vagrauts are
not entitled to these benefits. They are
enemies to good government and parasite
npon the body politic, deaerviog no charity
but requiring to be punished and suppres
ed. This m ia accordance with tbe track
ing of thn Gospel, as well aa tbe declara
tion of law. Paul says in his second Utter
to the Tbeseaioniaa, "For even when we
were with you, tbi we commanded yea,
that if any would not work, neither should
he eat,'' livery encourage iuint given to
tramps and vagrants is a burda laid npon
tbe tax-paying community and an injury
done to individual owners of property and
unprotected female lumatesot farm houses.
Let ihe poor laws be administered in chris
tian cliarity. and the criminal law in accor
dance with its true iatnnt and pttrp-oae.
But let us be caret ul that no mn taken char
ity aids -ud emboldens tbe viuious aud op
press those entitled to protection. It is
