this court on conviction. Once for all, ne
would say that q justice has power, by wha'
is called summary conviction, to impose
fine of twenty dollars or under, where the
statute fixes the fine !; bat where the hne
exceeds that amount he cannot impose il,
but must send the case here. VI course
this refers TO Commonwealth's cases, not
cases under the; ordinances Of the city
under which a justice may give judgment
for higher fines if the ordinances impose
them. But in other cases Of misdemeanor
the justice can only examine and discharge,
or send the case here for prosecution. A
final judgment in such cases by the jus
tice is null and void. ],

SON was elected to preside over this time
honored institution, and in o speech before
the Conference, full Of ardent sympashies
for the work, he accepted the trust, and fm-
mediately entered upon its duties, which he
faithfully discharged until it was deter
mined to remove the College to Ashland,
when he resigned his position, and very soon
afterwards started West, and he met with his
Euntimely end at or near Mattoon, Illinois.
Wehave onlytheshort telegraphic statement
that he was accidentally killed. He lived
but a few hours after the accident. His
remains will probably reach this city by
the Richmond, fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad to-day. The announcement
of his sudden death will cast gloom over
many who knew him in this State, and whom
only q few days since he left in all the
buoyancy Of life and health.
