init any person TO Jail for cuntcmr.
Of his court.
Justices Of the peace. along with
shcriffs and other constitutional Of
flccrS. may bc removed from ofric
by courts of competent jurisdiciI,l
upon conviction of hcinous crimes O,
deliberate malicaSancc in office.
Lawyers or others Interested i'm
checking the law on This point NAV
Took at Secs. I'LL and 1884. co..
u!itiatcd statutes.
Every general assembly for the
| past dozen years has played around
| the subject. and every recent gov
crnor has talked about the need for
joing something. The policy put i'll
| to effect by Governor Broughton is
step. albeit short one. toward
alleviatlon of some Of the inherent
| evils in the present system.
What's all the talk abouto Inst
this: Any justice of the peace, no
matter how incompetent, once ne is
sworn in. can send any other cit-
zen 10 Jail for thirty days. THAT
