Ii u L. L. - him

edges that Mr. Aymar required by law TO exercise
and was entitled to- have dcvoved upon him.
Second That Mr.. Aymar having been elected
Justice of the Peace for the Town OF Williamsburgh
Magistrate entitled 10 exercse land in fact required to
do SOL criminal well civil jurisdiction, ana mat
the former vested right which tbs Legislature
could not deprive him Of and that ~ his successor IN
Office the same power had devOved upon hun; mere
fore be was a Criminal Magistrate independent oil any
power conferred upon him by the Prohlbltory Law.
I1ird-That The ProhbitOry Law was a general
act; that IL plain intent and purpose 49, that every
Justice Of the Peace in the State under H. exerc 80
criminal jurisdiction far az the enforcement 81 inns
law is concerned az, for instance, Justices OF the
Marine and District Courts of New York CITY are
vestod with criminal power in these cases. On the
other hand the act Of April 10 1855, IN relation to
Insces of the Peace Of the late City of Will, nsburgh
wss a special act intended simply to re nsta,e those
Justices in the positions from which they had been
ousted by the consolidation act confirming them IN the
exercise of the general powers they had before
exercised Civil Justices and cannot reasonably be
considered intending to get aside any portion Of the
PrOhibitOry Law. Again. while the act of April, IS,
by it, provisions took immediate effect thai por-
ton Of the ProhibitOry Law which would give the sald
Jusces criminal powers took effect on the 4th of July,
1855 ard thus become virtually subsequent law con-
trolling the previous one.
Such appeared to him al least 10 be the law on the
subject aud without desiring to take any step toward
enforcing the Prohibitory Law, except so far a. re-
qUDed by duty, be felt compelled to deny the motion
to discharge Mr.. Berry.
Mr. Hamilton took exceptions TO the decision and
also to the power Of the Governor in making the
nppoinirpent OF Justice Jacobs. He also denied the
charges alleged against Mr.. Berry and demanded
jury trial.
The trial is set down for July 30.
The same ruling aud exceptions were made in the
case Of VIM. Guischard, and the case set down Tor
tIisl on Wednesday, August l.
