Opinion

[Syllabus Material]          Appeal from the District Court of the Twelfth Judicial District.

         This was an appeal taken from the order refusing to grant an injunction in the foregoing case.

         COUNSEL

          John Reynolds, for Appellant.

          Williams, Shafter & Park, for Respondents.


         JUDGES: The opinion of the Court was delivered by Mr. Justice Heydenfeldt. Mr. Justice Terry concurred.

         OPINION

          HEYDENFELDT, Judge

         Fines imposed in the Court of the Mayor or Recorder of a city or before any officer of a municipal corporation, having authority to impose fines, must, as a general rule, be paid into the treasury of the city, town, or other municipal corporation, unless the law specifically directs otherwise.

         There is no statute which interferes with this disposition of the fund arising from fines, as far as concerns the City of Sacramento. Therefore the judgment is reversed.
