presence OF the justice of the peace There
are few cases In some of the states where
the courts have decided that at common
law the justice of the peace has no power
even to punish for contempt committed in

that point and at variance with the recent
decisions in this country
There were some cases cited by council

In reply to this writ Of habeas corpus which
counsel claimed held that at common law

 now in my possession. With all it's crudeness the essay shows considerable honest effort tC learn and give facts relating to the subject, ''The Pin, ,
 which was selected by the teacher:
 "A pin is a very useful apparatus
 invention. It is vary useful to tha people of the Unitcl States as well as
 the people of other countries Of Flu rope. It is used in pinning dresses and ether tcflets. The pin is very cheap in this town, and Othsr counties of GeOr- gia. They are two CT three packs for , cents. and sometimes sold for four or five packs for , cents Pins were first used in Great Britain, and they were first made Cf wire in 1540 Brass cnas were imported from France by Gather inc Howard. At first pins were made by filing 9 point of proper length of wire. In some parts of France the thorns are still us5d as pms. Suppos- ing q boy was climbing a fence and he had accidentally tore his coat, and he was scared his mother would whip him if she would see that whole in his coat. but if he had met another companion of his on his way hons, and this boy had a pin, of course the ooy would feel better and gto hcma on a sly, and slip in the house without seeing his moth CT Some days after this the boys mother notice the whole in her sens coat, of course the boys mother ask him about this whole, and the boy tell his mother the truth about this, of course the boy feels better after this.
