and that the regiments of the regular army be

/ ADJOURNED TowN MEETI SG.-An adjourn
ment of the regular June town meeting, was
held Tuesday afternoon, at the State House,
at =. NJ, Henry Bull, Esq. Moderator, to
receive and act upon the report of the School
Committee in relation to the pu rchase of a lot
and the erection of new school house for 200
pupils, and for the transaction of other busi-
ness.
WIN. Gilpin Esq, presented the report Of
Of the Committee, which was received and
read. The report stated, in substance, that
the Committee had been unable to procure an
eligible lot for school house, and had there
fore as substitute for the original proposition
agreed TO recommend the adoption of a vote Of
the town TO the following effect - Voted, that
for term ofyears buildings for school houses,

The LICENSE LAw.-An act passed at the
late June session Of the General Assembly, re-
ducing the penalty for selling liquor without
license from fifty to twenty dollars, and giving
the jurisdiction ofthis offence to Justices of the
peace in each town, wiihom appeal 10 any
higher tribunal. The Withholding an appeal
in these cases is thought by many to conflict
with the 10th section Of Article of the State
Constitution, which provides, that /" in all
criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy
the right to speedy and public trial, by an
impartial Jury'-a jury trial not being known
or established in magistrates court. In ev-
cry other instance, where an offence is within
the jurisdiction of Justice of the peace to try
and determine, provision, it is said, is made by
Section $50 of the /" Act concerning crimes and
punishment" for an appeal to the Court of
Common Pleas next to be holden in the same
county, and thus trial by jury is secured to
the offender, if he think proper to avail himself
of it. The doubts before mentioned, as to the
validity Of the late amendatory act, being en-
tertained by very considerable portion of the
bar, and of the magistrates entrusted with its
execution, application, it is rumored, will be
made blythe Governor to the Judges of the Su-
preme Court for written opinion on the ques-
ton of constitutionality, which he is empower
ed to call for by Section 3, Art. 10. In the
event of an opinion being given unfavorable to
the validity of the act, all proceedings for :he
enforcement of the license law subsequent to
its passage, must be suspended until the AS
sembly, at its regular, or called session, pro-
vide an appeal, or reinstate the higher courts
in the jurisdiction orig inally conferred on
them.
