 A town meeting is called for Saturday evening next ct Town Hall, to consider the. bill, and to hear explanations as to it, for providing . town court with judge, prosecuting attorney. etc., for tho town of Winchester. The bill pro- vides . judge at $500, an attorney al $500, and an officer. There are several other provisions of general interest in tho measure, which has been introduced. A large amount of discussion has result cd. and there is probability that the meeting will at least be entertaining. At present there are 22 justices of the peace, but under the new law, if it goes through, nearly all the business of the town of . criminal or civil nature now transacted by justices of the peace will be done in town court. Settle that mat tor by testing the law by practical ap- phcation.
