Jurisdiction Of Justices Of the Peace.

Last week we published commu-
nication from Mr.. J. P. Hadnot, in
relation to the arrest Of Sheriff Teal,
in which be takes rs to task for in
timating that it was u case in which
he had no Jurisdiction. At the time
we thought nothing of it, but since
closer examination We find that Mr..
Hadnot usurped jurisdiction in the
outset over matter in which he had
no jurisdiction. Article 126 of the
new constitution says:
"They shall have jurisdiction as
committing magistrates, and shall
have power to bail or discharge in
cases not capital or necessarily pun
ishable at hard labor"
Judge T. t. Land, in commenting
on the above article, says:
"Under this article justices of the
peace may arrest and commit for all
crimes and offenses. whether capital
or punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary or not; bat for such OF.
lenses they have no power either to
bail or discharge the accused. 1t is
only when the offense charged is not
capital or necessarily punishable al
hard labor in the penitentiary that
justices of the peace have the power
to examine the witnesses. and. on the
evidence, to bail or discharge the &C
cused."
The affidavit upon which the ar
rest was made was, that the accused
had committed an assault with in
tent to kill, thereby breaking thu
leg of said Dunbar" making a cas-
of manning, unnecessarily punishable
at hard labor" over which Mr.. Had
not had no jurisdiction "either t
bail or to discharge the accused"
In the second place Mr.. Hadnot i
wrong in claiming the right to orde
the sheriff to bring prisoner befor,
him. He should have sent his con
stable with an order for the prisoner
, in which case it would have been tn
duty of the sheriff to deliver him VI
to the constable. 1t would be pref
. ty kettle of fish if the sheriff had t.
hold himself subject to the beck ant
call of all the justices Of the peac
in the parish.
So thoroughly is Mr.. Teal nov
convinced of the fact that he canno
be used in this way, he says that
the same thing we're to occur agail
, he would simply tell the Justice Q
, the peace to go to the devil. As Jail
or of the parish he will respect th
mittimus OF any magistrate. but al
other orders eminating from thei
courts he can treat at his option.

THE Bankers Daughter ,

Golfers Union Square company are adver.
tised for Friday and Saturday evenings of next
week, and for Saturday matinee. The com.
pany is an unusually strong one. The Buffalo
Courier speaking OF the company says:
" The Bankers Daughter" vas one of the
favorite dramas of last season and will I'M
doubtedly maintain its hold upon the pu bic
until the end OF the present. 1t is a very
strong play, as We had occasion to indicate
after its first representation here; and Manager
Collier has very wisely retained those artists in
the cast who contributed most to the success OF
the piece aud has introduced new elements of
strength.
Mr.. F. G. Bangs now personates John
strebelow, and does it admirably. We con-
TESS to having entertained doubts as to Mr..
Bangs success IN the part, in view of the fact
that his dramatic lines have not been
cast in society places, and we had
scarcely imagined that he could so easily
throw the sock and buskin aside and So
gracefully adapt himself to the require
ments of the modern stage. But he demon.
strated his versatility last night, and proved
that he could play the part of the quiet, manly
society gentleman in most excellent way. HI
showed even more than this, ACCOMPLISHMENTS
his newness in the role, and that he is capable
of making his well-known dramatic force tell
with splendid effectiveness without any show
of a tendency TO melo-dramatic explosiyeness.
