The Organisation of the Judiciary De
partment in these Island dates as far back
as 1855. We find it prescribed III an Ordi-
nance of 3lst March that year, that in st.
CrOix as we'll as in st. Thomas there shall
be appointed q Tocn-Judge, who, consist
ent with Danish Law and Justice, which is
to be observed throughout the Islands,
shall decide and pass sentences in all civil
cases, in which it be proven that no agree
ment could be obtained in the ReCOnciIlnG
Commissions, and In all cases not be-
longing under the resort of the Debt Com
mission, or under the military and clerical u
risdiction. The Court administered by him
to be styled Town Court, and besides the
Judge there should also be a Recorder, by
whom all mOrtgage-deeds, transfer, bills OF
sale and such like documents are to be re-
corded, endorsed and protocolled.-The
PoHcc-Dcpa1tmcnt is by the Ordnance
placed under the Town-Judges, and the
Governor General required to exercise the
chief control and supervision Herewith.
Here in st. CroiX this state of things con-
tlnued with more or less deviation up to
1916, when the Recorders duties were
attached to those of the Town-Judge and a
separation of the Police-Duties from the
Judge's-Duties was effected. We are not
aware that that was sanctioned by Law,
nor are we aware what were the principles
of the separation. But in 1852 the Gov
eminent proposed a plan, which it was in
tended should be given the force of Law
when adopted the chief feature of that
plan was the final separation of the iudici
airy and executive functions OF the Police
masters, upon certain broad principles de-
veloped in u Prelusive Draft of a PubIica-
ton concerning an alteration of the Police
masters Offices or situations. The autho-
rity which had been exercised by the
Policemasters both in their judicial and
executive or administrative functions was
proposed to be divided between Police
Judges, who likewise should be Sherifs,
Town-Judges, Recorders, Vendue Masters,
Dealing Masters CONTRARY to the direct re-
quirements of the Ordinances of 1899 and
1907 and Public Notaries,-and Police
Masters. The Colonial Council objected to
the plan, not because that Bodywas opposed
to the legal establishment of an organise
ton that had proved SO very beneficial, but
because the P~olicemaster would by the
Plan be having no independent authority
or responsible situation, but would rather
be Immediately subject to and in the de-
tail dependent on, and responsible to the

The bill creating the Doth Judicial Cir
cult composed of the counties of Andrew
Holt, Nodaway, and. Atchison has passed
both houses of the Legislature, and received
the signature of the Governor.
The bill provides for a special election
for Judge and circuit,Attorney on the 10th
day of April 1872. The Judge thus cleo.
ted will hold. his office until his successor
is elected in 1874. The Circuit Attorney
will hold his Office until January 1st 1873.
1t further provides that Circuit Court shall
meetin Nodaway, county ON the 3rd Mon
day in March, the End Monday in July and
Bird Monday in November.
In Andrew county: The 1st Monday in
April, 1st Monday.in August, and 1st.Mon-
day in December. In Holt county: The Bird
Monday in April, 3rd Monday in August,
and 3rd Monday in December. In Atchi-
son county: The Bird Monday in January,
Bird Monday in September, and LIST Monday
in May. We understand Judge Pike is
required to hold court as usual, until the
new Judge is elected and qualified. As the
time between now and the election is short,
the voters Of the circuit cannot afford to be
Very tardy in making their choice ofcandi-
dates, Ofwhom there will o. course be quite
a number for nomination at least. Without
saying anything either for or against any of
the gentlemen seeking the nomination on
the Republican ticket we would suggest that
Oregon is probably the most central point
at which to hold the conventions.
