JUSTICES OF THE PEACE,
Several Changes Likely M the Re
suit of an InvestigutiOn.

Several Changes Likely as the Re-
suit of an InvestigntiOn.
Several changes are imminent in the Of
fees of justice Of the peace of the District
OF Columbia result of an investiga-
tion recently conducted by the Department
Of Justice. Complaint was lodged with
Attorney General Harmon that attorneys
practicing before certain Justices Of the
peace pooled their issues with the mag
istrates in landlord and tenant cases and
divided the fees. and that under the ex-
listing system a suit for debt brought be-
fore the justices in question always re-
suited in a verdict for plaintiff in cases
where there was a chance of collecting the
judgment.
An examiner of the department was d.
rected to investigate the matter. His re-
port just submitted to the Attorney Cen
eral will form the basis Of recommended
tfon for the removal of the offending JUS
tices 1t appears from the report that
the issue of SummonSes In cases Of land
of rented property without the sworn COM
plant in writing Of the plaintiff has been a
common practice for some Of the justices,
Notwithstanding such course Is a plain
violation of the statutes.
1t also appears from the report that this
law Is very much abused; that 1t is not
used to obtain possession Of property, but
merely as process to enforce the payment
of rent; that in many cases judgment by
default is given as matter of course with
out proof that the effect Of this misuse Of
the judicial process IS to impose costs on
cause Of the loose practice is a rivalry for
business. The names of the justices who
have. offended will not be disclosed until
their successors are appointed.
