Justice of The Peace Receives Commission in 1920
George W. Chamberlain was commissioned as Justice of the Peace by the secretary of state late yesterday. He filed the bond and took the oath, with the official record made in the county clerk's office. The dated commission is January 1, 1920. The timing of his marriages without a commission has caused unease among clients and lawyers. A judge noted uncertainty about legality but suggested courts would protect the public, while the Supreme Court has not ruled on similar cases.
