The INDICTMENTS AGAINST JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE -Thirty-six Justices OF the peace In Hudson
county were indicted by the Grand Jury before that
body was discharged OH Tuesday afternoon. Every
time justice receives fee for issuing warrant
he violates the law unless the fee be rendered spon-
taaeously by the applicant, case which hardly ever
occurs. II was certainly bold step on the part
OF the justices TO continue their infringement OF the
law after the decision OF Chict Justice Beasley Q
year ago, aud they cannot complain that the law SO
taruy and pauent, has at length clutched them The
salute looks somewhat oppressive lnasmucM
Us 1t Is hardship that man should
give his services aud furnish legal documents with
out any compensation. kut II was framed for the
purpose or correcting abuses which were bringing
the naIne OF law into contempt. Lltigants had been
neeced by certain magistrates without remorse, SO
that many poor persons had to submit 70 wrong
through fear Of the expense OF going to law 1t Is
rumored that the indictments against two Of the
magistrates were reconsidered aud quashed. There
are many OF the justices against each OF whom seve-
raj indictments were found. The enforcement OF
the law Will have one good effect namely, the ex-
Cluslon OF persons from the 0iilce VINO aspire TO II
not lor the honor attached to it, put Tor The purpose
Oh making money.
