Auditor is so often obliged to send back re-
turns of Justices in criminal cases, because
they do not comply with the Actof 1860, page
40 that the attention of Justices is again cal
led TO this matter,
! So important is this that the Auditor will
send specimens of Blank Records, Returns
and Bills of Costs to some one Justice in each
town, who is requested to notify other Justices
in his town, that no accounts will be allowed,
unless the return complies essentially with the
forms prescribed.
The County Clerk of this County has care
fully prepared blank forms for Records and
Returns, which may be obtained at Tuttle &
Gays Bookstore, and blank Bills of Cost,
which may be had by sending to the Clerk.
A notion prevails among some Justices, that
they are not required to make records in Grim
inal cases. For their information we quote the
law.
Every Justice shall keep record of his
judicial proceedings, both in civil and criminal
cases, and his books of record shall, at all
| times, be subject to the inspection of any per-
son interested in such record. Section %,
