While looking over the constitution
| of Vermont at Newfane Tuesday the
| states attorney elect. A. v. ID. Piper of
| Jamaica, found that section 26 prohib-
tied persons from holding more than
one of certain public offices which the
! chapter enumerated Among them are
the offices of sheriff and member of the
legislature both of which are held by
| George c. Wright OF Westminster. Mr..
| Wright was elected town represent
alive two years ago and in July, 1911,
was appointed sheriff. He was reelected
| representative last week. HIS tenure or
the office of sheriff is therefore with
out legal authority. AMI he is without
power to confer authority upon the dep
uty sheriffs The situation Is not seri-
! Gus however as the acts of these Of
flcials as officers OF the court are bind
ing as between third persons and the
various writs which have been served
by them will remain In force. II ques-
ton was raised by prisoner as to the
legality of his Imprisonment he would
not be released. because he was legally
sentenced. II 1T was decided that the
service OF the officer was without au-
thority the prisoner would be remand
ed before the magistrate and new SER
vice made. While in fact a representa-
tive, Mr.. Wright was not drawing sal
airy as such when he was appointed
sheriff and after being reelected last
week he decided to resign as sheriff be-
fore taking his seat In the legislature
next month He will resign soon. and
II is probable that C, F.. Mann of Brat
| tleboro sheriff elect will be appointed
