POWERS AND DUTIES.

Their powers and duties not
beng generally known, Associ-
ate Judges are frequently spo-
ken of in derision, are called side
judges, fgure-heads, &C., and
many suppose that their places
could easily be filed by wooden
men; but such is not the case ::
they have extensive powers, and
they are often called upon to per-
form important duties.
1t was decided by the Supreme
Court over a hundred years ago
that an Associate Judge when on
the Bench has a right to deliver
his sentiments upon every mat
ter that comes before the Court,
and has a right to be heard,
though the President Judge is
the organ or mouth.piece of the
Court. The two Associates be-
ing a majority of the Court, can
over-rule the President Judge a;
they can fix the term of impris-
onment of persons convicted Of
crimes in Court; they can con
troll all appointments where the
power to make appointments is
vested in the Court; they can
grant licenses to applicants to
sell intoxicating liquors, Or they
can refuse the applications-eveu
against the protest of the Presi-
dent Judge, as was done in Hun
tingdon county few years ago
when all the applications were
refused and Huntingdon county
was without a licensed house. -
We might cite many other pow
ers of the Associates but the
above shows enough to satisfy
our readers that good men, mer
of intelligence, men of ability
men of honor, conscientious mer
only, should be elected to fill the
office.
When not on the Bench, ASso
ciate Judges, also, have unlimit
ed powers in many things they
can perform the marriage cere
mony, take Acknowledgements Of
deeds and other instruments oI
writing; they can Issue warrants
and have persons arrested anc
fined for drunkenness, profanity
or for profaning the Lords day
and, in fact, they have the same
powers and authority in crimina
matters as are possessed by
Justice of the Peace.

they receive mileage.
