Justices Lose Fees in Cases Prior to Act
The emergency legislation to pay justices of the peace in criminal cases did not address pre effective date services. Justices and constables may not be paid for misdemeanor proceedings before the act, prompting possible suits for costs paid by defendants. The opinion, by Ira J. Partlow, notes broader issues, including constitutional questions from the Fountain of Justice ruling and potential jail and cost recovery actions. Ernest E. Winters Jr. pressed Cabell County cases, leading to a ruling that a constable is not entitled to pay for serving in another district without a local justice of the peace order.
