<Laws 1949, p. 384, §§ 1 tp 4. constitution Title 57, §§ 361 to 364, was declared invalid by the Criminal Court of Appeals, in Ex parte Coffelt, 228 P.2d 199, on the grounds that the assessment was not a proper item to be charged as costs, its collection was violative of the constitutional division of powers making the courts a coequal branch of government with the legislative and executive department, and it violated the spirit of § 6, art. 2 of the Constitution, providing that the courts of the state shall be open to every person, and that right and justice shall be administered without sale, denial, delay or prejudice. In this case the Criminal Court of Appeals said ‘‘In our opinion House Bill No. 492, Session Laws 1949 is therefore void.’’ >
