KING WILLIAM, February 2, 1870,
What has become of g ex Sheriff Moore, },
the progress of whose trial before a mill.
tary commission you reported regularly Ia
a certain date-26th january, I think
and then suddenly dropped the subject
Has he been found guilty, acquitted, or
has bis case been turned over to the civil
authorities and he reman6ed to King VIII
liam for indictment by the grand jury, or
for trial, or howl We hereabouts would
like to know what has been or will be done
with this defaulting appointee of the
" worthy" Candy, whose sureties Colonel
Stanton stated before the military court he
had not been able to find, even.
There seems to be good deal of anxiety
amongst the legal fraternity lest the county
judgeships should be conferred in some In
stances upon non-professional gentlemen.
A county Judge sriN be singly what the
county court is ao,c collectively, nothing
more--and there are scores of business men,
old Justices, old clerks, ETC., who, every one
knows, would make as good "judges" as
some Of the gentlemen who have obtained
a license to practice law. But there Ia q
WAY W lIy tueSe llupS VI auc Law Ny
attaching low salaries to the Office of county
Judge. and sincerely hope the Legislature
will do so in order to test the patriotism
and self-dcnial Of this class Of gentlemen.
Let the salaries be from two to four hun
bred dollars, according to population, and
then we will see which of the lawyers will
give up lucrative practice for low SAL
ary as county judge. In many counties,
indeed in all, think good ldnyerS, who
are also just and impartial men in their
public duties, should be appointed, if it be
previously known that they will accept the
position but where that class of men are
not to be found, or where, if to be found,
they are not willing to relinquish their
practice for a position which, though the
title " Judge" may attach to it, will not
pay them in pecuniary point OF view,
and there are those to be found (non-pr
fessional men) who will, confessedly, make
good officers, and are willing to accept the
position even with it's meagre salary,
think, in al candor and justice, the Legis
lature should appoint them, even though
they may not, in the popular sense, be
learned in the law"
