The Governor's Instructions to Trial Justices. Governor Tillman seems to growing more determined than ever tbat the dispensary law as it now stands shall be enforced. He has played bis band with the municipal author? ities and is now in the game with the trial justices. His excellency said that he would probably have to remove some of the trial justice in the next sixty days if they did not strictly enforce the law. Copies of the new dispensary law were sent to the trial justices and with them the follow? ing instructions : Under the act approved December 23d, a copy of which is herewith sent you, the duty will largely devolve on trial justices of enfor? cing the law. The statutes, as construed by the Supreme Court, require that criminal cases coming within the jurisdiction of trial justices shall be tried by a jury on the demand of the defendant, otherwise by the trial justice himself. Jurors are to be summon? ed by the constable after six names have been drawn from a hat in which eighteen names have been placed by the constable. It will be the duty of trial justices to see that no names are put in the hat except those of men who will find a verdict according to the evidence and not perjure themselves through prejudice against the law. Trial justices who do not act with promptness and vigor and endeavor to enforce the law may as well send in tbeir resignations, as no negligence or favoritism will be tolerated. Enclosed will be found a form of search warrant, as well as a form ' for beginning nuisaace proceedings under Section 22 of the act. As it is impossible for State constables to 'cover the entire territory, trial justices are expected to see that their constables seize all contraband liquor and make arrests of parties breaking the law as provided by the act. Every seizure thns made mast be reported to the State Commissioner, who will send a certificate for the shipment to him of the contraband liquor. For such work consta? bles will be paid a reasonable fee upon re? porting the facts to the Governor. Special attention is directed to Section 29, giving tbe right to examine suspicious pack? ages, j Trial juetices will in every case arrrest and proceed against express agents and rail? road agents, or other railroad employees, who lay themselves liable ?oder tbe provision of the law. The right to search without a warrant applies only to places of business or public places. Io all cases where liquor is believed to be in a private'residence and is being sold, search warrants must be i3Boed. Persons are not allowed to buy in other States and bring into this State any quantity greater than one gallon. The searches mest be confined to depots, and no car will be entered to make search, unless by express orders of the Governor. (Signed,) B. R. TILLMAN, Governor. Accompanying the instructions is the usual form for .tbe search warrant, for residences or any otber place. Here is the form of affidavit prescribed : "Personally appeared -- who, being duly sworn, deposes and says that be is informed by - and verily believes from suet information, and his own observation, that in (describe place, premises or bouse) there is now deposited, stored, and kept contraband liquors, in violation of law, to wit ; (particularly describing the same, and that said intoxicating and contraband liquors are there kept, stored, and deposited by - aiders and abettors, without a permit, in violation of the laws of the State. "Wherefore, deponent prays that a search warrant may issue, commanding the search of said premises and their appurtenances, and that such contraband liquors may be brought before the court, and such actioo taken con? cerning the same as is authorized by law." And this will be the trial justices' orders to the constables : "These are, therefore, to authorize and require you, with necessary and proper aasistaDte, to enter ioto tbe said house (or otber place appurtenant thereto) of the said -aforesaid, and there diligently by day or by night search for the said contraband liquors, and if tbe same or any part thereof shall be fouod upon such search, that you bring the said liquors so found, and also seize and bring all vessels, bar fixtures, screens, bottles, glasses, and appurtenances, apparently used or suitable for use, in or about such liquors, take a complete inventory ot the same, and deposit the same with the sheri?, which said articles are there a remain, to be disposed of as required by the provisions of the dispensary law." There will be very many trial justices, and a great many more constables who will have trouble over this same form of search warrant. Cure For Headache.
