LAW ON ISLE OF MAN.

The Isle of Man presents many
curious features, none Of which are
more curious than its laws. Fol in
stance, the Legislature is called the
House Of Keys and was in other
times a judicial body charged with
the duty Of Interpreting the laws. Any
person SO bold as to slande this
louise OF Keys was liable not only to
a fine in the mount Of flo but to
the loss Of both his ears.
Two DeemSterS were ono appoint
ed to execute the laws which before
the year 1417 were uncodified. and
these were known as Breast Laws for

time seem wise and expedient.

extracts from the Manx legal rulings:

POLICE BOARD TO
NAME NEW CHIEF
Understood "civil Service" Will
Be Ignored on an Opinion
by Boggs.

Under an opinion, il is understood,
that will come the early part of next
week from Acting City Counsel Her
bert Boggs. the Police Board win dis
regard civil service, it is said, and
appoint a successor TO the late Chief
Michael Corbitt at it's meeting Thurs
day afternoon.
From an authoritative source il
was learned today that Mr. Boggs
has decided that the Police Commits
sion is vested with authority 10 ap-
point the head of the department. II
is said that Mr. Boggs holds that
inasmuch as the chief is head of a
department, he does not come under
the civil service regulation.
Although none of the members of
the board would be questioned on the
subject, it was learned that three
captains are at present being consid-
cred for the post These are Captain
Michael Ryan, of the First precinct,
who is at present acting head of the
department; Captain Michael Long.
Of the Fifth precinct. and Captain
Peter J. Christie, of the Third pre-
cinct.
For over an hour yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Boggs conferred with Jo-
seph NJ. Cox, secretary to the board.
on the question. It was at this time
that the former made his decision
known. II is learned Afterwards he
also had a talk with President
John Baader. when it is understood
the same ground was covered.
Both Mr.. Boggs and Mr.. Baader
were seen later, but would not dis
cuss any phase of the question. The
former referred his questioner to the
members of.the board. Asked whether
/. he had decided the issue, he re-
fused TO talk.
This same question which has con-
fronted the local board wac gone ovrs
by the East Orange authorities sew
eral years ago At that time when
Chief James Bell resigned, Mayor
Julian,sA. Gregory disregarded civil
service entirely and appointed the
present incumbent. Chief Harry
O'Neil, then a sergeant, to the post
For a while the civil service au.
thorities threatened action against
Gregory. but he defied them and de-
clared that he would welcome any
litigation that would decide the aues-
ton. The matter was brought int
the courts lately, but up to now M
decision has been reached and Chic
O'Nein is still head of the depart
ment.
Whether this situation had any
thing to do with Mr.. Boggs's opinion
is not known. 1t was pointed ou
long ago by lawyers, however, tha'
the same principle was involved il
Newark-that the chief was head of {
department and therefore not undel
