The Washington critic., 1890-05-20
TIE POLICE COURT.
Its status discussed Especially as to
whisky Cases

Its STATUS lDtecutheH especially as to
Whisky Cases
The Police Court in Washington,
says the correspondent of the Balu-
more Sun, was established not only to
do such judicial work in relation to
crime as had before been done by justices
of the peace, but also to relieve the
Criminal Court of very much of the minor
business which at that time overloaded
Its docket. Its weak point is the fact that
its decisions have no force except by
consent of the culprit's lawyer. for a
trial by jury is constitutional right,
and the Police Court has no iurv. and
any one found guilty by its Judge has
right TO carry his case to the Criminal
Court and have 1t tried anew there by n
jury.
The Criminal Court has, however. n
rule that no appeals from the Police
Court shall be entered until docket fee
of 50 is paid. Between the appeal from
q sentence in the Police Court and the
entry of the appeal for trial in the
court above there Is q space which is
amply sufficient to hold all the cases on
which no docket fee is paid. This
space was made especially convenient
in liquor cases. The Police Court
would say guilty and fined $105, and
the attorney would say appeal" and
the papers would be sent up to the
Criminal Court and there remain un-
touched because the liquor dealers ap-
pealing did not choose TO pay the docket
fee.
There would have been practically no
way of preventing the nullifcation of
the judgments of the Police Court If
Chief Justice Bingham had not by his
order remanded to the Police Court all
the cases in which the docket fee had
not been paid. When, however, these
cases came back to the Police Court the
attorneys in the liquor cases-Messrs.
Cook, Darlington, Cahill, j. J. John
son and G. M. Smith-contend that
as an appeal had been taken and no
jury trial had been allowed no iudg-
ment could be given. and all these cases
must be dismissed, as the right to jury
trial could not be made to depend on
the payment of docket fee. The ques.
tion is still engaging the attention Of the
pOi1rt
