FATE OF JUSTICES SEALED.
THE APPELLATE DIVISION DECIDES
AGAINST Peterson AND MURPHY.
THEY MUST STEP DOWN FROM THE BENCH AND
GIVE WAY TO THEIR SUCCESSORS VAN
wART AND sCHNITZsPAN-THE
OPINION WRITTEN BY
PRESIDING JUDGE


The Appellate Division # the Supreme Court
yesterday handed down decision by which IL
susta!ns Justice Gaynors ruling at special term
ousting Peterson and Murphy from the Offices
of justices Of the peace which they earnestly
sought to hold agnst their successors. Gerard
b. Van Wart ana William Schnitzspan. The rul-
Ing Of this appellate court will doubtless settle
the fight over the office. the entire bench
corcurs IN the decision.
The respective courtrooms of the Second and
Third districts. where the deposei Justices had
so long held sway. were the scenes OF exciting
incidents early in the morning of New Year
Day. 1t was known then. Of course, that the
Judges had been superseded by the voice OF the
voters. and that tY) new men had been seiec'c"
to fill their places. But there we're some nice
legal points involved incident 70 the provisions
OF the new Constitution. ami Messrs. Murphy
and Peterson purpose making the most OF theii;
80 both sides cAmpcd on the hearthstone uh'ii
the law was finally invoked. and Justice Gay
nor decided that the terms Of the former JuS.,,s
had expired with the year Of 1885,. Even theh
they were not satisfied. and carried the case ID
the Appellate Division. ~
The opinion handed down with the decision
yesterday written by Presiding Justice
Brown. In IL he refers TO the fact that Murphy
and Peterson wera elected In 1891 to terms OF
four years. the said terms to begin on May J..
1892. so It that both sought to hold over
until that time In the present year But thc
new Constitution provides that the terms or
Justices Of inferior courts of local jurisdiction
should expire with the year 1895. Therefore. inc
controversy narrowed down II the question a.
to whether they presided over courts OF INFERIOR
local jurisdiction.
In his opinion Judge Brown says that the
courts in question were undoubtedly Of inferior
local Jurisdiction under the law which created
them. passed In 1919 They law Of lsss. which
succeeded that Of 1S49. Judge Brown holds. ala

the Seventeenth Ward on Monday night at No. rs

resolutions similar to those introduced by Assem-"

OF the present police surgeons OF Brooklyn. The
committee selected to draft the resolutions includ-
ed Harry S Shaw. George A. Wright and cx-As-
semblyman John H. Campbell. Deputy city Clerk

police surgeons living in the ward ordered one or
the police officers OF the Seventh Precinct out OF a
sick bed and compelled him to report for duty. and
at the time charged him with intoXicl lion.
