RECORDER'S JUR
ISDICTION
SEEMS CONCLUSIVE THAT
MAGISTRATES ARE PUT
OUT OF BUSINESS.
The Enterprise yesterday dis
cussed tlie question now at issue
here Whether or not under tne
new charter the Recorder takes
away the jurisdiction of -Magis
trates in the city. The constitu
tion leaves the matter open to
argument, but the Supreme Court
has already decided the matter
which eives the Recorder exclu
sive jurisdiction. The Enterprise
has gotten the following opinion
from a-oominent lawyer in the
State:
My Dear Mr. Farris:
Following a conversation with
you over the 'phone this morning,
I investigated the question of the
jurisdiction of your Recorder's
court. You stated to me that the
act gave to the court exclusive
original jurisdiction ot certain
misdemeanors within the limits of
the city of High Point, but of
course I am at a disadvantage in
not having the act before me. You
stated that some person had been
tried before the Magistrate and
that you thought they would
adopt this plan of escaping a
trial before the Recorder, setting
up wtien tried before the Record
er a plea of former jeopardy.
You will notice that Article 4.
section 2, of the Constitution of
North Carolina provides for our
system of courts including that
of justice of the peace. You will
notice that also article 4, section
27 provides for the jurisdiction of
the justice of the peace. How
evtfT, these two sections in this
case can be construed with sec
tion 1 4of the same article provid
ing for the establishment of spe
cial courts for the trial of misde
meanors in cities and in towns.
Our Supreme Court has passed on
this question in the case of State
vs. Baskerville, 141 N. C, page
819. This was a case in which a
party was indicted before a mag
istrate in tlK city of Kaleigh after
the establishment of the Kecord
'erV court at that place. The act
establishing the Recorder's court
gave to it cxculsivc jurisdiction
of all misdemeanors, etc., within
Raleigh township. The court de
cided that the justice of the peace
had no jurisdiction, and that the
act creating the court and giving
it exclusive jurisdiction was con
stitutional. And that section 27,
article 4 of the Constitution was
so modified by Section 14 of the
same article as to authorize the
Legislature to establish special
courts in cities and give them ex-
elusive jurisdiction within the
corporate limits of the same.
Of course there is a treat deal
of learning an dmany cases bear
ing upon the question which I
need not call your attention to at
this time, for this case recently
decided by our Supreme Court
seems to be decisive of the oues
tion. So J would say that the
justice of the peace would have no
jurisdiction to try this man and
that if he sentenced him it would
be invalid, and he could be tried
by the Recorder and convicted,
and could not plead the sentence
of hte magistrate as a former con
viction. That is, of course, if the
act creating your court eives it
as stated to me over the phone.
