POLICE MAGISTRATES AND COMMISSIONERS.
To The Editor Of The " y Tribune.
SIR: Next TO probity and knowledge in magistrate,
honesty ability IN the police officers attached to his court
They the executive ministers OF the Justice They execute
bis and gather evidence Their duties vsiross sad
their performance depends mainly upon intelligence
activity In the execution warrants tte officer sets ta
most beyond the observation Of the us,ce who has
guaranty that he win reform hs duties efficiently except h
knowledge of the officers char scte To become expert In tao
ing Criminals requires the exercise Of faculties that few inu
lively possess and which only acquired by deted officers
after practice In view Of this the Magistrates Of the First
District Police Court have demonstrated with the Police Com
nionsr in regard to the removal OF Officer Barclay who he's
been transferred by the Commissioner without the approval
the gis,raes from that Court and another officer whom the
MAGISTRATES do know substituted in his rsce IL seems from
this that the MAGISTRATES dere have those who
have proved themselves honest and successful o continued
at their CouIt, end not moved unless for csuse.
Nothing desirable than to have cordial relations exist
ng between the Police Magistrates and the Police Commission
Each is constituted for the obect-he suppression q
crime Without feeling Of mutual cooperation many In
copveence may We DO not wish dictate courss
20 the Commissioners the Magistrates but simply remark,
that the reputation Of the Police Court Is In measure in
VOWED in the Of its Police and the Matrate held re-
sponsbe for oil that pertains to the administration OF Justice
and about his Court he should in equity be entitled to some
weight with the Commissioners in the selection Of his officers In
the emonstance from Justices Welsh and Kelly they say f
Barclay most efficient officer; that, beside his ordinary
duties he employed the difficult task Of checking the oe
eIsors Of dreputebe persons who oieT in the ves'oae
the to solicit clients these have irequeoty
threatened him removed and that ether officers SEEING
Nh Barclay sustained will b. strict Ia performing
such duties.
We DO not know what motive the Commissioners may have
had IN removing this officer In the absence Of compliant
sgst him probable they removed him because they IKE
Policemen between post and detailed duty Whateyes
was their reason have desire inquire al speak Of
Is whether there should be cordial understanding that
the Magistrates may be satisfied with the officers sent BY the
Commit sou.r. 10 execute THEN orders LEX.
