County

Justice Of the peace courts of Cam

despite the recent decision of the
court of criminal appeals which held
unconstitutional the law granting
justices of the peace fees only in
cases where convictions are secured.
Reports received by the county at
torney. vi. X. Hall. indicate that a
chaotic condition exists in many Tex
as counties as n result of the deci-
sion. In several counties justices Of
the peace have refused to act unless
they are assured compensation. and
this cannot be assured, attorneys
state.
Reports from Austin indicate that
the attorney general may file an ap-
plicstion on behalf Of the state for
a rehearing, and IL this lie done the
case can be kept in the courts and

pass legislation ~remedying the situ-
alton.
The attorney general has advised
that justice Of the peace cases be
transferred to county courts in those
counties where justices OF the peace
refuse 60 act without compensation,
but serious objection has been raised
to this procedure as it would result
in overlooking the county court
dockets with minor cases, and would
also cause considerable expense in
carrying all minor cases TO the coun-
ty seat for trial.
