Judge Stewart. of Chambersburg, this
state, has filed an opinion that affects all
Justices of the Peace and Constables in the
state, and will materially reduce their in
come. A Justice brought suit against the
County Commissioner to recover fees in a
summary case where the defendant had gone
to Jail for costs. The Commissioners, upon
advice of the County Solicitor, refused to
pay the bill, and a case stated was prepared
for an appeal to the court. According to the
Interpretation of the law by the Court, in all
cases of summary conviction for drunkenness,
disOrderly cauduct, violations under game
laws, trespass and similar offenses, where the
parties are found guilty and sent to Jail for
non-payment of fines and costs, the county is
not liable for the costs, and the magistrates
and constables get nothing for their work
Lawyers hold that the effect of Judge
Stewards decision is to make imperative
nearly all attempts to enforce the law in the
class of cases mentioned, as the constables
will refuse to venture the loss of time and
expenses in making such arrests.
