January 50, 1903-Hon. T. NJ Phil
lips, County Judge of Jefferson Coun-
ty. Pine Bluff, ,Ark.-Dear Sir: Hav-
ing long been aware of the fact that
the expenses of the circuit courts, in
Guiding Jail costs, constitute much the
largest single item of expense to be
borne by the tax payers of any coun
ty, have diligently endeavored, since
my induction into the Office of cir
cult Judge. to reduce this burden to
the lowest limit consistent with JUS
tice to litigants and a due admins
tratiOn of the law. In this endeavOr
have found my efforts greatly re-
tarded and obstructed by reason of the
failure of the justices of the peace
to comply with the laws regulating
examining trials in criminal cases.
The ttatute. Sandels & Hill Digest,
Section 1897, requires the magistrate
in such cases to include in the min
utes of the examination the name and
place of residence of each witness and
a general statement or synopsis of
the substance of his testimony. This
should be returned and filed in the
Office of the circuit clerk. 1t is toe
often the case that large numbers or
unnecessary and immaterial witnesses
are summoned in examining trials be-
fore magistrates A failure on the part
Of the Justice to comply with section
ecuting attorney to have all these
witnesses Summoned TO appear before
,te grand jury, as he has no means
# ascertainins which ones are mate
nial and which are not. and thus
great deal of cost is incurred that
might easily be avoided.
Again. compliance with this law is
highly important fer the additional
reason that should a witness so e&
amiAed die, leave the state or for
any reason become incompetent 10
testify. then the minutes SO taken and
certified by the Justice can be used
nd read in evidence at the trial Of the
accused. You can easily see how inn
@ortant this is in preventing the fail
ere Of justice.
The law, sections 2002 and 1881, al
so provides that when the defendant
is held to the grand jury the magis-
trate shall cause the witnesses for the
