SPECIAL CONSCIOUSNESS TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe. Aug. 7.-Assistant Attor-

cided that justices Of the peace have
no jurisdiction to impose fines upon
persons who stand charged with
selling liquor without a license The
opinion says
Santa Fc. n. NJ. Aug. 6, 1914.
&C. c. Royal Esq, Assistant district
Attorney, Silver City. N. M.
Dear Sir l have your letter of
the 4th inst. regarding the question
as to whether justices Of the peace
have Jurisdiction to impose a fine
upon persons who stand charged with
selling liquor without a license. You
say that you have searched our stat
ute with a view to ascertaining
whether such jurisdiction exists. |
have done the same, and have arriv-
cd at the conclusion that justices of
the peace have no jurisdiction in
such cases. The most that they can
do is to receive bond for the APP
pearance of the accused before the
district court to await the action of
a grand jury or the filing of an in
formation by a district attorney. If
a statute could be found which con-
fers jurisdiction upon justice OF
the peace i'm all cases of misdemea-
nor, there could be no doubt that
such justice would have power to
impose a fine in case like the one
under consideration, but our statutes
seem to specify particular offenses
over which the justice of the peace
has jurisdiction. and this particular
offense is not included in the list
