IMPORTANT CASES
FILED IN COURT
Jefferson Consolidated Court
Matter Again Up
WALKER co. IN TROUBLE
Whole List of County officers Hangs
on Decision In Case Presented
In Supreme Court
Yesterday.

Montgomery, December 22-(speeialA-
Many cases of Importance we're present.
ed to the Alabama supreme court TODAY,
among them being the one recently filed
with the clerk attacking the criminal
court of jefferson county, and seeking to
have the consolidated court of Jefferson
county declared unconstitutional. REIN
stated, 1t is claimed in the petition for
rule nisl filed, that the criminal court is
without authority of law inasmuch as it
was repealed by the act creating the
consolidate court. Though this latter has
been outlawed by the supreme court the
same questions are up in tha contentious
incident to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
circuits and there is a hope that the
higher court will take different view
in effect reverse itself
Two cases were presented wherein is
contained the vexatious question of time
O. succession in county office These are
Morrow VS.. Miller from Walker county,
and Hasty vs.. Prowell, from Marengo
county. The whole list of county officers
III Walker will hang on the decision in
this case which is submitted on quo
warranto proceedings in order to get a
ruling as quickly as possible Prowell is
the old probate judge in Marengo and
refuses to vacate for Hasty. the new
man. AS in all these cases the point
is made that while the constitution says
all officers must be elected November s,
the law stipulates that they are to go
irto office on November 3, next after
election, which II taken literally, would
carry it over to next year. The attorney
general has ruled, however, that the
intent of the constitution makers was
to have the law changed to make the
time of succession right and that the
new men are entitled to go in as soon
as qualified.
Other cases presented were the habeas
corpus proceedings of Scott Chestnut,
charged with gaming in Atlanta, and out
on bond pending appeal from the decision
of the lower court to send him back to
the Georgia city; Dan Stalings, habeas
corpus. wherein he was allowed bail In
the sum of $4,000 and the state is appeal
ing, Stallings having killed his brother
in-law, Radford Buekhalts, at Greenville.
some weeks ago. Divorce proceedings of
F. c. Randolph against his wife, and
his wife against him, cross bills, turn
ed down by the city court. Albert Rus

Clay County Court.

Two cases involving the county court
of Clay county were handed down. In
one it was held that the act passed in
1908 repeating this court was invalid be-
cause of lack of advertising, and the old
court was re-established. In the other
1t was held that that part of the law
creating the county court which under
took to take away the criminal juris-
diction of the circuit court of the same
county was without authority, as this ju-
risdiction was given by the constitution.
Also that the effort to have the cases
taken up in the county court on infor-
nation was null because the constitu-
tior provoides that the circuit court can
only handle those cases which are pre-
scented on Indictment save as it may be
an appellate court for county tribunal to
review its decisions.
The supreme court also refused to take
up anew the appeal of John Cater from
Parry county, sentenced to hang last Sep
