A peculiar condition of affairs de-
when William Davis was charged with
acting in a disorderly manner. This
case had been transferred from tho
court of Magistrate Daley to the City
Court, as the defendant, through his
attorney, j. p. Nields, had refused to
accept the magistrates decision in
writing. Judge Ball dismissed the case,
on the ground that the magistrate had
no right to hold person charged with
disorderly conduct for the City Court,
or any other tribunal, there being
nothing in the statutes of the State
giving magistrates jurisdiction in dis
orderly conduct cases.
When the case was called Mr.. Nields
read the bail bond, which was signed
by Daniel l.. Bower and Davis and was
for 500, and said there was nothing on
the record of the court upon which
Davis could be held. He said the
Justice of the peace had no right to
take bail bond for such charge to
the City Court. He held that if the
accused should elect to submit to de-
cision of the magistrate in writing it
would be proper to 60 into hearing
on the merits of the case; otherwise,
the magistrate could exact a peace
bond.
Judge Ball called attention to the
| fact that the information did not allege
| violation of an ordinance of the city,
hence his court had no jurisdiction in
case of the kind transferred from the
court of justice of the peace He also
pointed out that the information was
to the effect that the accused was
charged with acting in disorderly
manner against the peace and dignity
of the State, and that there is no
statute bearing ON disorderIy conduct.
Should the information allege nui-
sance, which the disorderly conduct
might be called, the statutes would
cover the case. r
Mr.. Nields agreed with the judge
and said that was a further reason why
the City Court could not take cogni-
zance of the case, there being no aliega-
tion of violation of city ordinance.
He reviewed the history of the case.
He said when it was called the magis-
trate asked his client if he would ac-
cept a decision in writing, wheleupon
his client declined to accept the de-
cision. Mr.. Nields said Davis was
ready at the time to give peace bond.

known to the Statutes of the State, but
was included in the list of offences
enumerated in the city charter. In
order for the Justice of the peace to
take cognizance the information would
have to allege nuisance, and in the
present instance the Justice of the
peace had no right to issue warrant,
as his is statutory court and there is
no statute to back up charges of dis
orderly conduct. He held that even il
Davis had consented to accept the
magistrates decision, the decision
would have had no effect

CLAIMS HE ACTED PRoPEELY.
Magistrate Daley Cites tho oity Charter II
support of His Action In Holding William

Magistrate Daley cites tho Oity Charter In
support OF His Action In Holding William
Davis for the City Court.
Justice of the Peace John +. Daley,
when spoken to about the action OF
Judge Ball in declining to entertain
charge of disorderly conduct in tho
City Court Friday against William
Davis, on the ground that the magis-
trate exceeded his authority in holding
Davis for the City Court on that
charge, said he believed he followed
the proper course in doing what he
did, and cited the following section of
the city charter in support OF his
assertion:
ut shall be the duty of every Justice
of the peace or other committing
magistrate, whenever any person is
before him charged with any CT cfiminal
matter or offence properly cognizable
in the Municipal Court of the city OF
Wilmington, to inquire into the same,
and if he shall find that there is
probable ground for the charge, he
shall hold the person accused to bail
for his or her appearance at the even
ing session of the said Municipal
Court, not more than four days distant
from said hearing, and in default of
bail, the person accused shall be COM
mlttsd 10 the custody CT tho high con-
stable Of the city of Wilmington TO
await such session. All bail bonds
shall be forwarded to the clerk of the
Municipal Court within two days
after the said hearing, and every bail
bond and commitment shall have in
dorsed upon tho same an itemized
statement of all costs which may have
accrued up TO that time, and the same
shall he taxed as costs against the
accused in any Judgment or sentence
which may be pronounced against such
accused in the said Municipal Court;
provided, nevertheless, that the judge
| of said court shall have power to strike
oil any portion OF said costs which
shall be illegal or which he shall deem
unnecessary"
Magistrate Daley claims that he
made the investigation REQUIRED by
| law, so far as was possible under the
| circumstances, and, as the law directs,
| hold the accused in bail for the City
| Court. When the case was first called
| it wss adjourned in order to secure the
attendance of witnesses for the prose-
| cution and when it was called the
second time the accused, through his
counsel. declined to accept the de-
cision of the magistrate in writing,
hence the action of the magistrate.
According to statements of John z.
Nields. counsel fol Davis, and As
sistant City Solicitor Cahoon, in which
Judge Ball aoquiesced, justices Of the
peace cannot take cognizance OF dis
| orderly conduct cases, as disorderly
conduct is not an offence against the
statutes of the State. Disorderly con-
duct is, however, an offence against an
ordinance of the city and the City
Court has sole jurisdiction.
