State high court to hear bailiff case
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals agreed to hear a dispute over who should provide a circuit court bailiff for Judge John R. Frazier. Frazier seeks to hire a full time bailiff at 15000 to 18000 dollars, but Mercer County Sheriff D B Meadows argues the sheriff must provide the bailiff. The court set a September 13 hearing and declined interim relief, meaning a deputy will handle bailiff duties in the interim.
