MORROW AND CONKLIN v. NEWMAN.
    The jurisdiction of a judge of the pleas extends to the constable only on the act of June, 1737, and not to his surety.
    
      Certiorari to Judge Symns.
    By an act passed the 5th of June, 1787, constables, for certain delinquencies, are liable to a summary prosecution before a judge of the pleas. The constable, Morrow, had given a surety, and the collector prosecuted both the constable and surety on this act.
   Per Cur.

On this act, the judge has only jurisdiction over the officer, and not his surety.

Judgment reversed.
