Plaintiffs, Justices and Claim
Agents.

The following sensible suggestions
under the above head. we find In let
ter of correspondence, published in
last weeks Kansas Farmer:
KANSAS FARMER.--I wish to call
attention to an evil which is in our
state, and which ought to be abated.
A plaintig's justice, as known among
the legal fraternity. is justice OF the
peace, who upon any pretext will
bring o suit against some PERMANENT
farmer, or business man, not requiring
the plaintiff to give any security.
His costs being secured by virtue Of
said farmer, having the means, and
not wishing 10 continue litigation, he
will pay the costs rather than coil-
tinuc the the case.
This justice invariably decides the
case in his own interest, lie. having no
security from the plaintiff, ifhe decides
against him he loses his costs, while
by deciding against the defendant he
is sure of them.
In many localities justice is also
claim agent, or i'm partnership with
some pettifogger who is an agent. and
their fees are divided. Now "A" is q
shyster who trumps up some claim
against farmer &C." places il in the
hands of justice 'P." as claim agent
who brings suit, not TO collect this
claim but to bring him in a good bill
of costs, and ns the shyster "An is not
required to give bond for the payment
of costs, the case Is decided against
farmer &C" who pays the cost rather
than be annoyed by appealing the case.
Now, you say perhaps, the farmer
can take the case before some other
Justice, bnt this Is not always pr0ctic-
able, as the other justice may be two
far away for convenience, or parbably
an interested party, as is the first JUS
tice.
Twill cite one case which occurred
in this vicinity.
Z. A. worked for J. T. and received
at varions times. sums Of money and
goods, to more than his wages; yet he
went to justice and brought suit, no
bond was required, and although the
proof was plainly on the side Of the de-
fendant, the case was decided in favor
Of the plaintiff, SO fas as TO throw the
defendant, into the cost.
Upon appeal. the decision Of course
was reversed, yet the trouble and the
expense was SO great that the defend
ant would have been better II had he
paid this unjust bin Of costs.
The law ought TO be so msdified as
10 require justices TO take bond from
the plaintiff, for double the amount Of
the claim. aud make it pend offence
for justice 10 directly or Indirectly
be engaged in the claim business.
Yours truly, GRANGER.
