<br />Honorable City Council,
<br />Portsmouth, Va.
<br />
<br />"Portsmouth, Va., Oct. 9, 1928.
<br />
<br />Gentlemen:-
<br />
<br /> At your meeting of September llth you referred to me a reouest from Mr. J. O.-Griffin
<br />to have refunded the sum of $27 paid by him for fine ~nd costs in the Police Court on a charge
<br />of reckless driving. The facts im the case are, that Mr; Griffin was fined in the Police Court
<br />and paid his fine and costs. A day or two later he returned to the office of the Poli3e Jus-
<br />tice with a lawyer ~ud noted ~u appeal. Mr. Milford ~elieving that he had ten days in which
<br />to note an appeal, aent the warrant to the 01erk of the Court of Hustings. The case was duly
<br />docketed and was tried before a jury ~nd the charge ~gainst Mr. Griffin was dismissed. H~. I
<br />known ~t the time that the fine had been paid I would have requested the Court to dismiss the
<br />appea~, which I believe would have been done. However the case was fairly tried and Er. Griffin
<br />w~s ~ound not guilty and naturally feels that his money should be returned to him. Under the
<br />circumstances it appears to me this~houtd be done. I have requested Mr. Milford not to permit
<br />~ny more appeals ~fter the ~ine has been paid.
<br />
<br />Yours very truly,
<br />
<br /> R. C. BAROLAY, City Attorney."
<br />
<br /> Dunford moved tha~ the report of the City Attorney be approved, s~ud that
<br />mppropriation of $2[.O0 be allowed to take care of the refund.
