low the nature Of the principal. That,
IN point Of Tact, such has been the un-
Outstanding and settled usage Of The
country, and il is now too late To dis
turb it.; since the common error may
in this, as in other cases, make the
law.
But a majority Of the court are Of
opinion, that the Office Of deputy she i.
rib stands under our law. upon "A diff
ferent footing from that Of high sheriff;
and that none Of the reasons which are
urged in favor Of the latter. apply 10
the former Office. The act Of Assem-.
bly, alluded To embraces the case Of
high sheriff alone, and If, as they agree,
II must be so construed as 10 allow him
to resume his Office Of justice Of the
peace, il is a personal privilege which
ought not to be extended. The law
casts the Office Of high sheriff upon a
justice of the peace. but it is silent as
to the deputy. and the high sheriff may
select his deputy from any class Of so =
ciety. II the latter voluntarily accepts
and exercises an Office clearly incom
patible with the one he holds, there is
no good reason Cor exempting him
from the operation Of sound and &C
knowledged principle, which would
not go far to weaken and destroy the
principle itself That as tn the usage, it

any usage in this case Of which they

common law is clear, indispu:able, and

Puzzled BY these letters. he sought for

him that her nephew who was gone TO

cimcns, and that he had pasted some
long names upon them. he had learnt
from the doctors in Philadelphia; but
they were SO hard 10 pronounce when
her nciStbors asked her questions a.
