The amendment provides, in brief, for the partition of Cook County Into two Jus- tlee-of-the-Pence districts, one of thom com- prismg tho City of Chiengo, und the other the remainder of tho cuunty, Of the cilicaclous working of tho vbanwe to be etfected by tho amendment there can be no doubt, “The only | question to wo dotermined — is us to tho _constitutfonnlity of -the proposod amendment, aud on this polut a Tritt UNE reporter yesterday interviewed 4 number of Jawyers of this city, who were unanimously of tho opinion that the amendment should pass; that there was nothing unconstitutional in its nature to provont its pussiye: and that it it became taw an end would be prt forever to the garnishment outmiges and othor evil doings mudo posslblo by too workings of tho Justice law ng it at present stands, Among the lawyors was one who gave tho fnlluwing opinion: “Tho olection and jurisdiction of Justices of the Penco muse conform to Bee. 21of Art. vor the present Constitution, which 4s 1 folio «Justices of tho Pence, Police Mnylstrates, and Constables skult be olected in and for such districts as aro or may be provided by taw, and the jurisdiction of such Justices of the Pouce and Police Magistrates eball be uniform,’ * Now, it will bo noticed that tho districts for which Justices of the Peace are to be cloctod many he changod by law, and tholr Jurisdiction, though it must be uniform, may. gr mny nat bo limited to the district for which thoy are olected, according us the Leglalutury muy provide, ane tho twonty-elylith scotton of tho same chaptor of tha Constitution nuthorizcs Justices of tho Penco in Ubicagy to be appointed * for auun dls- tricts na aro now or shall hereafter be provided by lat,” but nono of thos provisions pruseribe how lurgo tho dlatrict shall bo over which the jurisdiction uf a Justico of tho Peace extands, which consequently may be more than a. county or lesa than a county, na tho Legisiature shall provide. By Seo, 13, Chap. 72, of tho Mevised Statutes, concerning Justices and Constables, the jurisuiction of Justices of the Penco is do- clared “thelr respective counties,” a count: thus being onde tho district over which thofr Jurisdiction is to bu oxercised, and within which it must be uniform, = * It fa therofore ovident that {f the Legislaturo amends Seo. 1, 18 provided Mr. Pariah's bill, 80 fa to mnko tho district thorein provided: -for tho Ilmit of tho Jurisdiction of tho Justiced, the constitutional! requirements will bo sutisfied and tha Jtrisdiction of tho Justices wilt oxtend oyor tho district provided by the statute within which district 1t must of course be unforin. Now, if the City of Chicngo is made one of those lstricts, aud the rest of Cook County ia mudo Anothor district, the Jurisdiction of the Justices within tha City of Chicayo will extend -only over that city, and that of the Justices for tho distriot including the balance of the county will not extend to tho city, and thus tho great uvil will ho obviatod. “ Inds evident that this willin no way interfere with tho Justices in any outside county, nor will it aifect tho powers or authority of tha Justices clther witht tho City of Chicayo or in tho bal- unce of Cook County, but siinply will limit the terrltory ovor which that power and authority ean be exercised.” ar ~ Anothor lawyer who bas intorested himself wartuly this wintor in ‘behalf of legisiation almed at tho dostruction of. the gnrnishes nul sanco, suld that bo thought that the Pariah bill night bo unconstitutional; nt tha samo tino he would not glye ap opinion until he hud fooked Into tt mors fully.
