CALLS COURT CLERKS AGENTS.
Mayor Asks That MaEistrate'
staHs Rotate to END Custom.

In letter 10 Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo Mayor Hylan suggests that IL
might be good thing TO have the
chief and assistant clerks In the mag
istrate courts rotate. He says ho has
heard that clerks have solicited busi-
ness for lawyers and that some of them
are actually in partnership with the law
yers. The Mayor wrote
"Reports have come TO me from
time to time that In some OF the rnagis-
trates' courts lawyers are In league
with clerks connected with the court and
clerks recommend people to these law
yers. i am also informed that some
Of the clerks are In partnership with
the lawyers.
along with this some clerks are very
close to detectives who usually bring
cases to their particular court, and other
clerks make a practice OF borrowing
money from people who do business
about the court.
magistrates rotate from one court to
another. leaving the chief clerk in en-
tire charge. l think II the chief clerk
and some of the assistants were changed
from time to time IL would have very
healthy effect and would put an end 10
certain conditions
