Sixth. State VS.. Julia Williams. Main
tanning and keeping a tipping house. De-
cember Is, 1882.
The Magistrate being asked to show
the law under which he issued this
was requested to produce the war
rant, when it was shown that
it was issued against the party for keep
ing lewd house." We having summoned
the prosecutrix in this case learned that
two other warrants had been issued as
hearing in same, one against Sam John
son and one against Scott Greene. Magis-
trate confessed to having issued the war
rants against these parties, but failed
to@ record same on his docket. We
find the books of Magistrate Fogar-
ty very badly kept, names OF parties en-
tered therein spelled incorrectly. We
therefore cannot refrain from expressing
the opinion that a Magistrate who cannot
even write correctly the names OF parties
against whom he issues warrants, Is not a
suitable person to hold the office which he
occupies.
Fourth. Magistrate Henry Beiber,
Seventh District. Found his books cor
rectly kept.
Fifth. Magistrate Mcleod King,
Seventh District. Found his books cor
rectly and neatly kept.
Sixth. Magistrate NJ. F. Molina, Third
District. We take pleasure III pronounc-
ing his books as more thoroughly sys-
tematic and clearly kept, than
and they are worthy of being adopted as
a standard by which all the officers books
should be kept.
They were found correct.
On the 9th we continued our examina-
ton, first calling on Magistrate S. FL
singer, First District. Found his hooks
correctly kept.
Jr., Third District. Found his books cor
rectly and very neatly kept.
! Third. Magistrate Isaac Russell, Sec
ond District. Found his books correctly
/ and very neatly kept, but the record not
I brought up to date, owing, as he informs
us, to his late continued illness and alb
sence from the city because of same.
/ Fourth. Magistrate James Dooner.
/ Second District. We found his books cor
/ rectly kept. but the following irregularity,
I which we deem it our duty to report:
| State VS.. I. L. Tompkins. Cheating and
/ swindling. Warrant 81 %; arrest 81 25--
/ 81 80. Collected from defendant. Marked
! on docket, discharged on examination"

1 Sixth. Magistrate u. L. Strickland, First

and defendant paid 81 50. No itemized

/ Jas. I. Buckner, Sixth district, were eX-
/ ahmed and found correct.
Magistrate w. X. Pritchard has not
/ presented any book for examination, in
explanation of which he informs us that
he has not had any cases in his district.
! viz, the Sixth.
/ We have withheld our recommendation
from the application of William Allen for
appointment as Notary Public and ex-
| officiO Justice of the Peace, believing the
present number of Justices to be more
! than sufficient for the public good.
In closing we desire to return our
! thanks to the officers and bailiffs of the
/ court for their courteous attention during
/ our term, and especially to the Solicitor
General, Walter q. Charlton, to whom we
/ feel indebted for the accomplishment of
/ our work. We congratulate the cOmmu-
| nifty upon their having an officer so zeal
/ Gus and untiring in his efforts to secure
/ the proper enforcement Of the laws.
