There has been for years mncs
doubt as to the power of magistrates
to imprison ia bastardy cases lor a -
longer period than thirty days. The .
supreme court, in a decision ren-..
dered last week, says that the im
prisonment can- be for a term long
enough to cover the allowance, fine -and
costs. In this county, where
the rate is $6 a month imprisonment
could last a year.
