Judge Sustains Reds Will
and a COdiciI Canoeing
$4,000 Bequest to a Scot

PATERSON. Dec 10.--Judge Abram
Klenert, in the Orphans Court here
yesterday. sustained the will of Peter
Reid. of PassaIc. and the first two
codicils of the will. Argument on the
other two codicils will be heard on
December %
The appellants alleged that because
Mr. Reid executed four codicils to his
original will he was not mentally
competent and that, while he remem-
fered immediate relatives, he over
looked second and third cousins both
in this country and Scotland.
The contest was brought by these
distant relatives who declared they
were left out OF the will because of
the influence of nearer relatives.
The first codicil, sustained by the
court. leaves $25,000 to David Cow. of
Glasgow. Scotland, but the second
codicil. also sustained, revoked this
bequest. The second codlcil also con-
ta.ns bequest of 100000 to the Pas
sale General Hospital and bequest
of S200,000 to Alexander Reid, a
nephew, of Paisley, Scotland.

amendment of the civil service act.
It's intention and object is to apply to
all counties OF the first class in the
State, irrespective of their adoption
of the civil serv' ce law. and is. therA-
fore, as obligatory upon the sheriff OF
Hudson county as upon any other
first-class county, without reference
to the adoption of the civil service
law.
This Interpretation and explana-
ton should clear the misunderstood
ing which Mr.. Noonan has of the lam
guage of the opinion to the same eff
feet, viz, that the persons who were
n office in frst-class counties at the
time of the approval of the act OF
1911 may not be removed, except in
accordance with the civil service law,
because they were required to be
placed in the competitive class
with reference to the contention
of Mr.. Noonan that constables IN at
tendance upon the courts are not
officers or employees OF the courts,
within the meaning of chapter 50, p.
L. 1912, 1t seems suffic emit to observe
that while the power of detail of these
constables for this duty lies with the
sheriff, the acceptance of this detail
and the continuance of the duty lies

" exercised in the past the power OF

reasons which seem sufficient to the
court. Further. these constables per-
forming this duty become. for the
time being. employees of the court,
for the reason that they perform their
duties under the direction of the
court, without reference to or re-
ceiv'ng any authority therefor
from the sheriff, and their compen-
sation for this service is paid to them,
not as constables, but as court at
endants, from a source quite differ
ent from that from which thew re-

constables.

since their authority for action as
court attendants, rests. not upon
Their detail by the sheriff for this
service, but their acceptance for t;s
service by the court. and their COM
pensation in this character and not
as constables of municipality. indi-

ing of the act of 1912, employees of

TRENTON, Dec. 10.-Assistant At
torney- General Gaskili today rem
dered an opinion to the Civil Service
Commission hold'n g that court at
tendants come within the provisions
of the civil service law. The question
was raised by Joseph H. Noonan,
counsel for Sheriff Wedin, of Hudson
county. The assistant attorne y-gen-
eral. in his opinion to the commits
sion, says:
Il am replying to your letter of No
vember %. which deals with the OBJ
jections presented by Mr. Joseph H.
Noonan, on behalf of the sheriff of
Hudson county, to the rulings con-
tanned in the letter of this depart
ment of October 3. regarding the eff
feet Of chapter 341, P. L. 1911. and
chapter 80, P. L. 1912, upon court at
tendants. note Mr.. Noonan's first
objection, that chapter 341, of 1911, ap-
plies only to counties which have
adopted the civil service law, and
that inasmuch rs Hudson county did
not adopt this act until the fall of
1911, the act could not apply. there
fore, to that county.
Il beg to refer you again to that
part of the letter of this department,
dated October 8. which suggests the
possibility of successful attack
upon this act as unconstit ut onal, but
which declares that pending such an
attack and an adjudica ton thereon,
the act must be considered to be a
valid act. With this in mind. there
fore. an examination Of the title and
body of Chapter 341, P. L. 1911, indi-
Gates that this act is neither by title
nor Intention, supplement to or an

"The town itself and the people of
Hackensack are not prepared for ths

be good, but take from the scholars
