        "text": "English, O.

J. Falconer, sheriff of Sebastian county, do certify that John Hare was, and has been, appointed jailor of the jail in and for the Fort Smith district by me; and was acting as such during the time above charged for; that the services above charged for by said John Hare as jailor were actually and necessarily rendered as therein 'charged for; and were absolutely necessary for the safe custody of the prisoners under my\u2019 charge.\n1. Jailor:\nHis compensation. Employment 0 3 -guards.\n\u201cII. J. Falconer, Sheriff.\u201d\nThe matter was heard by the county court in'November, \u25a0 1877, and the court refused to allow the account, and Hare appealed to the circuit court for the Fort Smith district.\nAt the March term, 1878, the matter was submitted to the court sitting as a jury-, by- consent, and the court found and rendered judgment as follows:\n\u201cThe court, etc., doth find that the said John Hare was, during the period charged for in the account, jailor of the jail situated in the Fort Smith district under the sheriff of Sebastiau county, and that the services were rendered, but the court also finds that there is no provision in law\u2019 for paying for such services. It is, therefore, considered by the court that the judgment of the county court, etc , disallowing said account, be affirmed.\u201d\nHare obtained grant of appeal by the clerk of this court.\nThere was no motion for a new trial, and no bill of exceptions.\nThe sheriff is authorized to appoint a jailor, and provi- ' sion is made for his compensation for keeping prisoners by \u2019fees, etc. Gantt\u2019s Dig , chap. 77. and later fee Acts. If the jail is unsafe, the county- coui\u2019ts may authorize the sheriff to employ\u2019 guards, etc. Dig , sec. 3575.\nBut w\u2019e find no statute, and none is cited by counsel for .appellant, requiring the county\u2019 court to allow the jailor a salary of $75 per month, on such certificate of the sheriff as is appended to appellant\u2019s account.\nIf, in any case, the county court has discretion to allow the jailor extra compensation, as insisted for appellant, there is no evidence brought upon record in this case to-show that the county court abused such discretion in disallowing appellant\u2019s claim, or that the circuit court abused its discretion in affirming the judgment of the county court on the trial de novo.\nThere is no error upon the face of the judgment of the circuit court, and it must be affirmed.",
