Excerpt from An Introduction to the Duties of Magisitrates and Justices of the Peace
This short Treatise will be found to contain an exposition of the principles (1) upon which is founded the Procedure of Justices of the Peace and other Magistrates in dealing with criminal cases (2) upon which Acts of the Legislature are to be interpreted and (3) upon which evidence is received and dealt with in a judicial investigation. With regard to the former, it may be as Well to make a few remarks by way of preface, because the Procedure of Magistrates in the Mofussil and of Police Magistrates and Justices of the Peace is dealt with as a whole, although there are some distinctions which, in practice, must be attended to, and which has been noticed in the course of the book.
The rules for the guidance of Magistrates in the execution of their duties were, in England, prior to the year 1848, to be found only in text books and reports of decided cases.
These decisions extended over a considerable period of time. They were inaccessible to the majority of the Magis trates, and their study was a work of very great labor.
