The office Of Justice of the Peace is of no.

before Justices, such as require a high degree of
good common sense, the tact Of practical life,
together with some law, to be justly decided
The greater part, of civil cases, are such as re-
quire a high degree of good common sense,
unshackled by teehnicalities, to decide wheth-

dividual case in hand comes within the province
of the specific law
Superior courts have never required teehni-
cality at the hands of Justices of the Peace, and
were they to attempt it, the thing would be
found impraeticable. Those officers are not, in
general. professional men, who are familiar with
legal teehnicalities aud subtle ~niceties; and the
public welfare does not require that they should
attempt to live up to nice rules, which, in the
courts, would subserve no great good, and in
which they are not supposed to be well versed."
