CHAPTER VII.
IMPORTANT LABORS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
COUNTY COURT.
In 1847 a State election was held for members of the Constitu- tional Convention, which Convention prepared and submitted to the people a new constitution, which was adopted by a large majority. By this constitution, in place of the Commissioners' Court a County Court was organized in each county. This Court consisted of a County JJudge, and, if the Legislature saw proper to so order it, two Associate Justices. This the Legislature favorably acted upon. The last meeting of the County Commissioners' Court was held Nov. 7, 1849. After the transaction of such business as properly came before them, they adjourned until court in course, but never re-assembled.
On the 3d of December of the same year the first regular terni of the County Court was held. The duties of the Court in a legis- lative capacity were precisely the same as those of the County Com- missioners' Court. In addition to the legislative power the mem- bers of this Court were permitted to exercise judicial authority, having all the rights and privileges of justices of the peace, together with all probate business. This Court consisted of a County Judge and two Associate Justices. The Judge and Associate Justices acted together for the transaction of all county business, but none other. The Justices had an equal vote with the Judge, and received the same salary while holding court, which was $2 per day. Two of the three constituted a quorum.
