against prisoner Your appearance here IS a priv
hege and obligation
Mag1strate Pool I regarded IL as case over
which this high and honorable court had Jurisdic-
tlon If this is so, then ii was case which your
honor should properly have disposed Of told the
officer this quietly, and suggested that 1 had no
jurisdiction. Then. l had jurisdiction in the
case, under rule and order of the Board of City

Supreme Court justices do not care to sit as petty
magistrates said Justice McAdam The case

IN which you, Judge Pool. should have acted. The
Jaw requires that the prisoner be taken before the

matter You should have done the other.
You might have taken jurisdiction
