Practice in the State and Federal Courts
The last Legislature enacted a
law to provide for criminal statistics
which we hope will be closely
by those whom it places
tho duty of gathering the statistics
of crime in North Carolina. The
law provides that within
days after the adjournment of any
c court of record or of any
term of the Superior court at which
criminal cases are triable, the clerk
thereof shall transmit to the
General's office a duly certified
statement of the of indict-
finally disposed at such
court, tho number for each separate
the number on which con-
were had, end on which de-
were acquitted ; and of in
against persons, who
were convicted on confession, or
who were discharged without trial;
also the name, age, occupation, sex,
race and offense of every person
convicted at such court pleading
any offense, together with
such other items of information in
relation to such convicts and their
offenses the Attorney-General
shall require. The penalty for fail-
to comply with this section is
fifty dollars for each offense. The
of such reports shall be
transmitted to each Legislature in
tabulated form.
By this means a comparative
statement of crime can be had and
it can be known whether it is ins
creasing or decreasing, but such re-
ports will not give accurate
as misdemeanors are
