A notary public is disqualified TO sit as
Juror in a criminal case or at civil
hearing when the United states is a
party to the cause. according to an opin-

There are about 1000 notaries in the
District. all Of whom are regarded as
employees of the government.

Cockrell held that Office reached Attorney

prisoner. he made a motion for a new
trial, on the plea that a notary is under
the control and in the power OF the gov
eminent, and that he is thereby con-
ciusively presumed 10 be biased. Justice
Gould granted the new trial.
In holding the notary disqualified. JUS
tice Gould accepted the contention of
Attorney O'Brien that the notary is an
absolute creature Of the government. ap-
pointed by the President. having l&s du-
ties and fees prescribed by the legisla-
tive branch OF the government and his
bond approved by the judiciary His
appointment not only comes at the
