JUDGE 0LASSE MAKES A DE.
CISlON.

In the trial of a case of alleged
violation of the prohibitory law al
Columbus Oh Friday of last week,
Judge Glasse held that constable
may swear to complaint against
a jointkeeper, and that such a case
may be tried before justice of the
peace without the endorsement or
direction of the county attorney.
If this can be done in a joint case,
why not in other cases: And as
the county attorney passes on fee
bills before the commissioners,
how can he approve a bill about
which he knows nothing: 1t is be-
lieved by some attorneys that the
decision will not stand test in the
supreme court.
