non. BOARD OF county COMMISSIONERS,
Marion County, Florida:
Gentlemen-Having referred to me
letter of date December 3rd, adj
| dressed by Judge j. r. Wilder of
| Anthony to you, l beg to report that
Judge Wilder is correct, that under
the provisions of 206S of the General
| Statutes of Florida, you have right
to annex the Spar district by appro-
pirate resolution, adopted and record
| ed in your minutes, and provided no
justice OF the peace has been elected,
qualified or commissioned for the
Spar district. The resolution should
refer to this district by number, and
make the Sparr district a part of the
Anthony district
OF course this is on the supposition
that no justice of the peace has been
elected. qualified or commissioned in
the Sparr district
| note that Judge Wilder says that
all of the complaint about this matter
has come from Ocala, and of course
| have no knowledge of any complaint
and will attempt no explanation 9TH
er than to say taht Judge Wilder
should not act in such matters until
he knows that the proper resolution
has been passed by your board and
recorded in your minutes. No court
should attempt to take jurisdiction of
suit simply for convenience or &C
commodatiOn. The consequences
might be serious to the court and
its officers You should, therefore.
either pass the necessary resolution
to give Judge Wilder jurisdiction or
he should cease to exercise it in cases
coming from the Spar district.
Your +rulv
