holding any appointment under any Court of this State,
whose pay or compensation is derived from fees, or moneys
coming into his hands for the discharge of his official duties
or in any way growing out of or connected with his office,
shall keep a book in which shall be entered every sum or
sums of money received by him, or on his account, as a
payment or compensation for his performance of official
duties, a copy of which entries in said book, verified by the
oath of the officer by whom it is directed to be kept, shall
be returned yearly to the Comptroller of the State, for his
inspection, and that of the General Assembly of the State,
to which the Comptroller shall, at each regular session
thereof, make a report showing what officers have complied
with this section; and each of the said officers, when the
amount received by him for the year shall exced the sum
which he is by Law entitled to retain as his salary or com-
pensation for the discharge of his duties, and for the expen-
ses of his office, shall yearly pay over to the Treasurer of the
State the amount of such excess, subject to such disposition
thereof as the General Assembly may direct; if any of such
officers shall fail to comply with the requisitions of this section
for the period of thirty days after the expiration of each and
every year of his office, such officer shall bo deemed to
have vacated his office, and the Governor shall declare the
same vacant, and the vacancy therein shall be filled as in
case of vacancy for any other cause, and such officer shall
be subject to suit by the State for the amount that ought to
be paid into the treasury; and no person holding any office
created by or existing under this Constitution or Laws of
the State, or holding any appointment under any Court in
this State, shall receive more than three thousand dollars a
year as a compensation for the discharge of his official
duties, except in cases specially provided in this Constitu-
tion.

SEC. 2. The several Courts existing in this State at the
time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall, until super-
seded under its provisions, continue with like powers and
jurisdiction, and in the exercise thereof, both at Law and in
Equity, in all respects, as if this Constitution had not been
adopted; and when said Courts shall be so superseded, all
causes then depending in said Courts shall pass into the
jurisdiction of several Courts, by which they may be
respectively superseded.
