OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GEYERAL,l
Frankfort, July 26, 1855.
J. 3. PAINE, Esq Newport, Ay:

SIR The question upon which you de-
sire my opinion, is whether the County Courts
in this > tate, as at present organized have
the power to receive declarations Of aliens.
and on application to admit them TO become
citizens of the United States!
By the Sd section OF the act of Congress of
1902, to establish uniform rule of natura-
lization, every Court of Record in any indi
vidual State having Common lalO Jurisdic
ton and a seal and clerk, or prothonotary,
has the power to adjudicate and carry into
effect the provisions of that act and the
several amendments thereto.
Each of the County Courts in this State
has clerk and seal, and is Court OF Re-
cord by the Statute creating them. Revised
Statutes, 235. But are they courts of Com
mon Lam Jurisdiction within the meaning
OF the act OF Congress!
By referring to the Revised Statutes (page
234) and the Code Of Practice (title 2, sec
ton Is to-29, nclusive) it will be seen that
the jurisdiction of a County Court extends to
the fiscal affairs of the county, laying and
collecting levy, erecting public buildings
and bridges, appointing oil surveyors OF pub
tic roads, the probate of wills, granting letters
Of administrator, the division OF lands and
slaves, assignment of dover, establishment
of ferries, cases of bastardy, &c. But there
is nothing in the law that authorizes the in
sriuti9n of an acton, civil or criminal, OF the
flung of bill in equity, or vesting it with
any Common law jurisdiction whatever.
The jurisdiction to try appeals from jus
tees of Ihe peace, given by the Revised
Statutes, is taken away by the Code OF Prac'
tice. So that County Court cannot, in any
aspect, be regarded as Count of Common
Law Jurisdiction fer the trial of cases, civil
or criminal, at law or in equity, and conse-
quently is not one Of the courts embraced in
the act OF Congress TO whom ju isdiction is
given to carry into effect the laws relating
TO the naturalization OF aliens.
If my conclusions are right, it follows that
certificates of natura liZltion il any there
be-granted by County Courts are void.
rhls opinion does not apply 10 the Jefferson
County Court, because its organization is I'M
der speci act, differing in many respects
from The general laws concerning, County
Courts.
am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES HARLAN,
Attorney General.

CTWe learn from our Cincinnati ex
changes that Judge Hall has resigned the
Presidency of the Ohio & Mississippi Rail-
road, and that Hon. A. Ellis has been APP
pointed to fill the vacancy and has "unanim-
ously" accepted the appointment. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Ellis will profit by the
folly of the managers of the Western division
Of the Great "sx footer," and endeavor to
complete the road in a business manner and
not as a stock-gambler or sportsman. We
snail expect good account from the "am-
bilious little President.
