Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

BARNES, J.

Martin is clerk of the district court of the first judicial district. His contention is that as such clerk he is entitled in all cases to the fees as prescribed by the statutes of the United States, and that the legislature, by fixing a salary for the business of the territorial court, exceeded its power. We think not. The legislature has complete control of all the cases except those in which the United States is a party.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

All concur.
