MIR. Allen, formerly OF the District Attorneys
once, resumed his testimony in regard to police
Justices and their examinations at the time
when lie was In office. The police magistrates,
he said, knew very little law, except that set
down in the statute books, and many offences
of common occurrence might be looked for In
vain in the statutes. Police Justices sat on
alternate weeks. and while one was ON the
bench. the other disappeared altogether from
the horizon II was a matter Of comfy be-
tween the magistrates not to Interfere WIN
each utnei's cases, so that II case were pend
ing whC: Justice Jones, for instance, step ed
down from the bench. the defendant was kep.
In PRISON or on bail until Justice Jones reformed
and finished the examination. The theory oi
the law WAS that an exlmtn ton once begun
should 60 on without interruption. Hhd tnM
when prisoner demanded an examination ne
was entitled to II at once.
la cply to MIR. Townsend, Mr. Allen reluc-
tantly admitted that lie had known ot person
