Judge Shaw- - of Massachu-setts in iy havo illlrmcd thu Jurisdiction of themncistratPt over drunkenness and petty nf- -fell' ut, where vou leave freo und unfettered tholight of appeal. As It was. the euno was decidedhi a divided Court. The provision lu the Ma-ssachusetts m ite Constitution mai bo similar totne Mxlh Amiinduieiit of the Federal Constitu-tion, lull Is not similar to the clause lu the orig-inal anli Ip whh h has been t lute I.

Judge lllatchford I refer to the clause In the' original Coiiniliutloii. Kvcn iitsiimlng thai tho

I don't menu to say that this court nt Wash-ington mn) not he competent to try small as-saults and batteries and petty Itrcctiles. Woknow that from time Immemorial lucre havebeen such coiitts as Speclul Sessions, and Iknow myself what a relief ll would he to thecourts of fie United Stntes If they wore notcoiiiiielied to try every thing, no matter howsmall, by Jury. Hut every effort to Introducesome Ostein for our relief has been met bv thisInsurmountable barrier of the Constitutionthis clause uf the Constitution, Therefore wecannot have trial by Special Sesaluus,

In this case, as I understand It, It Is perfectlyclear that It In to be tried In the first cane with-out a Jury. The Constitution snys that all trialsnhall be by Jury, and the accused It entitled, tolto be Urst convicted by a court and then tubeacquitted b) a Jury, but to bo convicted or ac-quitted In the Ant Instance by a Jury. ThatM'etitt to me to be tho sound high cround onwhich to put this cn--
