For the first time in many, many
years the parish jail has not aprisoDer
within it's walls, and it is to be hoped
that il will remain 10 this condition
for sometime TO come. 1t is large
expense 10 the parish 10 feed from ten
to twenty prisoners year IN aud year
out, as it has been the case in our
parish, and it is gratifying TO be re-
Iieved of this very heavy and costly
item. Ii is to be hoped that il will be
sometime to come before there will be
another person within its walls.

Banner Democrat Allow me to
state to the public one of the principle
causes of the heavy criminal expense
of our parish, and suggest little law
10 our justices of the Peace. which. If
needed by them. will curtaIl the ex-
pense very much.
These officials have a code OF their
own. For instance an affidavit is made
before one of them charging party
with crime, and upon that bare ain
dayit they will issue a warrant and
have the person arrested and commit
ted to jail indefinitely without a hear
ing. In this there is no law known to
any one except magistrate for any
such proceeding. The constitution
provides that where man stands
charged with crime he shall have q
speedy trial as to his guilt or limo
cence. If on examination he is found
guilty the j. P, fixes the amount OF
his appearance bond before the District
Court; in default of giving bond he
then issues commitment to the parish
Jail. If no one appears in a reasonable
time to substantiate the charge the
magistrate has no right to hold hin
lad infinitum," but should order hi:
release.
Now. to show this situation, there
were eighteen parties in Jail (some O.
whom were in there for months on
mere affidavit) when the grand JURY
met. and they were all released excep
one, and the grand jury did not exam
inc his case or they would have re
leased.him.
Had these same parties had an exam
ipation before the committing D. +.
they would have been released AM
saved the parish this expense OF board
inc them for weeks aud months TO
nothing. This work continues al
throug the year, simply for want o
know edge in executing the law. Thes
irregularities are perpetrated on al
Ignorant class of people and should D
stopped bNsome means. If no othe
way. either abolish the Office of j. T.
or change the name and call them elm
Justice of the Peace -
1 will again say, that party charge
with All offense against the law, is en-
titled to hearing within twenty-fou
hours if possible. and in default, ca
be released on hfs own motion.
The above is written at the reques
of member of the Police Jury. with
out the slightest intention OF disturb
: ing the minds of the j. P's.
