A short time ago Governor Hastings
appointed d. G. Schofield a justice Of
the peace, to fill the Office in the Fourth
ward. Of New Brighton, made vacant
by the resignation Of Silas Main.
Schofield got out the necessary papers,
and wrote to get his commission.
Secretary Reeder has sent him com
munication refusing to grant the com
mission, and in explanation states that
the act of Assembly dividing New
Brighton into wards had only created
three wards. Although the Court had
created fourth one, he was not satisfi-

and in case he had not the Governor
had no power 10 appoint justice for a

This action Of Secretary Reeder has
raised the question Of whether or not
any of the officers OF the wards created
by the Court are legally such, and If
not the action Of such bodies as coun
cils and school boards may, at some
time, lead to endless legal complica
tions.
