For THE first time in its history Burling-
ton county occupies the novel position OF
having its highest officer, the Sheriff,
under arrest on a charge of assault and
battery. 1t may not be strictly proper to
comment upon this case before it has been
traversed by the grand jury, but we can
not forebesr word or two. The provoca-
ton may have been great, but Sheriff
Shinn was not justified in attacking Mr..
Buckley. He should have been deferred
by one thing if by nothing else-the dis
parity in size between himself and the
man he attacked, the latter being much
smaller and lighter and in no way match
for his antagonist. The Sheriff is an off.
Ger whose duty is to preserve the peace, not
to break 1t; if he felt aRgrieved he had
legal remedy. But there is another rea
son why Sheriff Shinn should not have
committed the assault upon the editor
1t is an open secret that the editorial col
umDs of the Dispatch are under control Of
the same Clique or ring that has always
been in charge. Sheriff Shinn knows
this, for he has expressed himself upon
the identity of the writer of the two
articles that incensed HIM. hence the
vengeance wreaked upon a man weaker
than himself did not reach the real ag.
gressors, who now laugh in their sleeve at
the rage of their victim, which he has
shown in such public manner

the heaviest blanket, it is without

THE ASSAULT upon editor Buckley has
given rise to the question whether Sheriff
Shinn is qualified to summon the grand
jury for the September term of court. A
common sense view would at once indi-
cate that it would be very dangerous
proceeding to allow a sheriff, under ar
rest, to select body of men to pass upon
his liability to Indictment And from a
hasty glance 1t appears as if the statute
also holds this same idea. The law pro-
vides that in the event of the sheriff "be-
coming disabled by law" to execute his
Office, the coroners or any one of. them
shall perform all the duties of the Office.
The point in the present case, then
would seem to be, is the sheriff disabled
by law ?" There can hardly be any
doubt on that point. A decision in one
of the books says that constable is an
improper person to summon a Jury in a
cause in which he is interested It will
readily be seen. therefore, that higher
Official is equally unqualified to perform a
similar act. The decisions also point out
the mode of procedure in certain cases,
leaving no doubt what is contemplated in
the premises. II is decided that although
panel returned is defective, it may BY
order of the court be amended or a new
one substituted. This shows that while a
sheriff is high in power, he is at all times
subject to the order of the court. To Sc
cure an order taking from the sheriff his
right to select jury, proof must be pre-
sented to the court showing the inability
Of the official to act A decision in a
California case seems to strike right at the
spot. II is when a criminal charge il
pending against the sheriff, the court may
instruct the grand jury summoned by that
officer not to consider this charge, and,
after the discharge of the regular grand
jury, may direct special grand jury to
be summoned by the coroner, instead OF
the sheriff, for the purpose of investigat-
ing such charge" In view of even the
books examined thus far, there is no
doubt. in our mind at least that Sheriff
Shinn is legally unable" to select the
next grand jury.
