LUERE 3. DEASY,

Justice Dunp's Opinion
The Honorable Ralph o. Brewster,
The Governor Of Maine,
Sir:
Your communication of recent
date, with preamble to the unitary
action which the Governor and
Council has taken already, and con-
corning, too, the action which de-
pending ON what has been done, the
Governor may take yet, under what
stands. proclaimed as the Thirty
eighth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of this State, with regard to
the Sheriff in Kennebec county. and
requesting the expressing of opinion,
has been considered.
1t is not in all instances. but only
where occasion is solemn, and the
question of law is important, that
constitutional prerogative permits a
governor TO exact each member of
the court to define his view on mat
ter of public moment.
The attempt will not be made to
state within a narrow compass my
conception Of the purpose Of the
organic provision. Suffice it to say,
that in the presented situation, as
it Is seen and understood by me, the
quality of solemnity is lacking, and
though the inquiry of law is not
without a mixture Of Importance,
still in the language Of the Amend
ment, as it reads on the book, there
is no uncertainty.
But even if essential were at
hand. it is evident that replying in
dogmatic form to the propounded
questions would substantially affect
the rights of him who now is serv-
ing as sheriff.
To pass upon his rights, with but
the side of the subject adverse to
him shown, when in this quick and
active age, the opposites might be
exhibited in turn, and after argu-
ment by counsel the cause be de-
termined in open court, would go to
the very heart, the very essence of
the system of Jurisprudence that has
made of our government a govern
ment of law as distinguished from
7 that government of functionaries
which another and older country
knew.
The facts stated do not indicate
that any solemn occasion exists
within the meaning of the Consti-
tuition. which requires the giving of
an eX parte opinion.
Most respectfully
(SignedD CHARLES ]. DUNN,
Associate Justice

Question Two
g Do the Governor and Council
under the said amendment. consti-
tute a single tribunal for the hearing
OF complaints against sheriffs: and
has the Governor the power Of vot-
ing, as a member of said tribunal, in
the determination of charges con-
tanned in said complaints?
We answer this question also in the
affirmative.
The amendment as adopted reads:
whenever the Governor and Council
upon complaint, due notice and hear
ing shall find that sheriff is not
faithfully or efficiently performing
any duty imposed upon him by law,
the Governor may remove such Sher-
if from office and with the advice and
consent of the council appoint an
other sheriff in his place, etc
BY the question propounded we un-
derstand your excellency desires to be
advised whether i'll hearing the
charges and acting upon them under
this amendment the Governor has any
voice in determining whether such
charges have been sustained.
Prior to the adoption of this
amendment, the only method of re-
moving unfaithful and inefficient
sheriffs was by impeachment, if
guilty of some misdemeanor in office,
or by address under Sec. 5, Art. IS OF
the Constitution. which required a
special session Of the Legislature, in
case the cause occurred in the in
term between the regular sessions.

ment was proposed. The language of
the amendment clearly implies pro-
