My wife's grandfather was a Justice of the Peace from about 1910 to the late 40's my in-laws are getting on up there so my wife has been going up to their house a couple of times a week to go through things, she brought me a hand full of these blank warrants. I'm sure handing one of these to some man back in the 30's was quite the moment!, and all for the bargain price of $4.85   ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |

A bastardy warrant? Does that mean this warrant is for bastards only? That's pretty cool Joe. If you see any for Roy Hendrix we're related. I understand Papa Roy spent a fair amount of time in the north Eastern part of the state. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Justice of the Peace in New York State has evolved into Town (and/or Village) Justice, which we still have. I am in my 14th year as a non-lawyer Town Justice. Town Justice duties involve handling all violations and misdemeanors from arraignment to plea, trial and in the event of a guilty verdict or plea, sentencing. We can sentence misdemeanor violators up to one year in county jail or three years probation. We also have preliminary jurisdiction for felony charges. We do the arraignment and make a release decision on felony charges. We are not allowed to grant bail on the most serious (Class A) felony charges (we must remand without bail). We also cannot set bail on a defendant who has two prior felony charges and is charged with a (new) felony. If a defendant is remanded on a felony charge, he has a right to a Preliminary Hearing within five days (six days if it involves a holiday or weekend) to determine if any felony has been committed. I, personally, have done Preliminary Hearings on (separate) Murder 2nd and Rape 1st cases. Our town court is the second busiest in our county, with only the county seat being busier. We typically see about 30 - 40 defendants per week in our court. We also do civil cases and perform marriages. |

These days you would wear out several JP's just trying to keep up with the number of warrants needed. Shows how much the morals of our country have declined. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
