NEED NOT GIVE A NEW BOND.
An Important Decision by the Attorney
General Touching Justices of the Peace.

Owing to numerous applications for informa
ton on the points involved, Governor Gray has
addressed to Attorney general Hord the follow
ing inquiries:
"Question when the term of Office OF o
justice of the peace has expired and the person
elected at the regular township election to sue
coed such justice, fails or refuses to qualify,
does the justice of the peace hold over until the
next regular township election, and until his
successor is elected and qualified, or is there
vacancy which the Board Of Commissioners are
authorized to fill by appointments
Question 2-In certifying an appointment of
justice of the peace to the Governor for COM
mission, is it necessary that the record should
show that the vacancy to be filled was such
one as the Board of Commissioners were
authorized to fill by an appointment
In response to the ffst question Judge Hord
holds that .f justice of the peace is not elected
as his own successor, but another person is
elected. who fails j, qualify, such justice of the
peace holds over until his successor is elected
and qualified, and there-is no statute requiring
him to give new or additional bond as condi-
ton for his continuance in Office, except where
it may become insufficient or his sureties may
petition the court for release therefrom," but
that if he is elected his own successor he must
take the oath of Office and execute new bond,
because he cannot take advantage of his own
willful violation of law The Indiana courts have
held that the failure Of a public officer
who is elected his own successor to
give bond within the time prescribed
by law renders bim liable to a proceeding for the
forfeiture and vacation of the Office, and does
not per Sc operate his instantaneous removal
from it; and if, within reasonable time there
after, he being without fault, he shall qualify
before steps are taken to declare and fill va
cancy, he may hold the office" In case of pro-
ceeding against him in court, and a declaration
that the Office is vacant. either the court or the
county commissioners may appoint successor.
Judge Hord holds that the official acts of a
justice elected as his own successor, who fails to
qualify and continues to exercise the functions
of his Office, are valid as those of an officer de
jure and on an action on his bond, neither he
nor his sureties can question his right to the of
fee. But, although the acts of officer de
facto, such as the above officer would be, are
valid in SO far as they affect the public, the
principle is otherwise when his acts are for the
benefit of himself or are called in question by
the State.
In response to the second question Judge
Hord holds that the record should show va
cancy upon which the Governor is authorized to
act
