OFFICERS .- The officers of a borough are Justice of the Peace, Constable, Assessors, School Directors, and Auditors, who are elected for the same terms and iu the same manner, and who perform the same duties as the township officers of like name. In addi- tion to these every borough elects a Burgess and Town Council.
91

SECTION I .- INTRODUCTION.
1. DEFINITION AND ORIGIN .- A county is a cor- porate subdivision of a State, having power to hold property and maintain local government. The term, in meaning, is equivalent to the English shire. Al- though meaning the same, the terms are applied on no uniform principle. The shires of England and Scotland are also called counties ; but in Ireland and the British colonies, county is employed. In the United States the various political divisions of the States are called counties, except in Louisiana, where
94
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
'similar divisions are called parishes. The divisions of a county are townships, from three or four to thirty or forty, according to the size thereof. In Penn- sylvania there are now 67 counties, and in the United States about 3,650.
2. POWERS .- A county may hold real estate and personal property. It may make contracts within its limits ; and it may sue and be sued. The corporate powers are vested in and exercised by the County Commissioners. Its qualified voters also have power to elect the different county officers and members to the State Legislature. Montgomery County, with a part of Bucks, constitutes the Seventh Congressional District.
SECTION II .- OFFICERS OF THE COUNTY.
1. JUDGE OF THE COURTS .- The Judge of the Court, properly speaking, is not a county officer. He is an officer of a judicial district, which, although usually composed of a single county, yet may be composed of two or more counties. He presides at all the courts held in his district, interprets the laws, and carries them into effect. He sentences prisoners convicted of crimes and performs many duties im- posed upon him by the law. His term of office is ten years. Vacancies are filled by appointment by the Governor of the State until the next general election.
95
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Montgomery County constitutes the Thirty-eighth Ju- dicial District of Pennsylvania. It has two judges.
2. DISTRICT ATTORNEY .- The District Attorney is elected for a term of three years. His duty is to frame all bills of indictment against persons charged with crime, and is the officer of the Commonwealth, who prosecutes and conducts all criminal cases in court.
3. PROTHONOTARY .- The Prothonotary is clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. He issues all writs for the commencement of actions or suits of law, as well as writs of execution for the sale of property, either personal or real. He must keep dockets in which is entered a complete history of every step taken by either party in any suit or execution. He also keeps a judgment docket, in which all judgments are entered in their regular order. All these dockets are open to the inspection of the public. The Pro- thonotary is elected for three years.
4. CLERK OF COURTS .- This officer is Clerk of the Orphans' Court and Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace. Each of these courts has separate dockets, in which the proceedings of each are kept. The Clerk of Courts also keeps a record of the jurymen drawn and certifies the time of attendance of each to the County Commissioners. All matters relating to the opening, widening, or vacating of roads are recorded and kept by him. He enters a record of the accounts
96
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
of guardians of orphans, executors of wills, and ad- ministrators of estates in the Orphans' Court docket after they are confirmed by the Court. The Clerk of Courts is elected for three years.
5. REGISTER OF WILLS .- The Register of Wills holds his office for a term of three years. He grants letters testamentary to executors and letters of admin- istration to administrators. He examines and files the accounts of executors, guardians, and trustees of life estates. Wills are admitted to probate, recorded, and filed by him.
6. RECORDER OF DEEDS .- The Recorder of Deeds is elected for three years. Vacancies are filled by ap- pointment by the Governor. It is the Recorder's duty to record all deeds, mortgages, and conveyances which shall be brought to him for that purpose. He must enter every deed or writing in the order of time it was presented. Every deed should be placed upon record within six months of the time it was made. Mortgages should be recorded as soon as delivered, as they take precedence over each other in the order of time in which they are placed upon record. The Recorder also certifics, to any one ordering the same, a complete search of all unsatisfied mortgages resting upon any particular property.
7. SHERIFF .- The Sheriff is elected for three years. When a vacancy occurs in the office of the Sheriff the Coroner fills it until the expiration of the term. The
97
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Sheriff is the executive officer of the Court. All wiits directed to him by the court must be executed by him, and a return thereof made to the court. He, with the Jury Commissioners, draws the names of the jurors, and the Sheriff summons them to attend court. He gives notice of the time and place of general elections and the qualification of voters.
8. CORONER .- The Coroner is elected every three years. Vacancies are filled by the Governor.
The duties of the Coroner are almost exclusively confined to holding inquests upon persons who have died by violence or accident, or in a sudden or mys- terious manner. He impanels a jury of six men, who inquire into the cause of death, after which a ver- dict is rendered. In cases of crime the Coroner has power to cause arrest and to commit to prison ; in other cases neither the Coroner nor the jury have de- fined responsibility, and may only recommend.
9. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS .- There are three Commissioners elected in each county for a term of three years. Each elector votes for two persons, but the three having the highest vote are elected, thus always giving the minority party a representative. Vacancies are filled by appointment by the remaining members.
It is the duty of the County Commissioners to deter- mine the tax rate from statements of the Assessors, and levy the county taxes. They must keep in repair
98
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
the court-house and prison, and build new ones when authorized to do so. They must also build county bridges and keep them in repair. Road damages as- sessed to property holders for land taken for new roads or streets within the county are paid by the county on warrants of the Commissioners. All bills against the county must be proved by them before they are paid by the County Treasurer. At the close of each fiscal year they publish a statement of the receipts and expenditures.
10. COUNTY TREASURER .- The County Treasurer is elected for a term of three years. Vacancies are filled by the Governor. The Treasurer receives and holds all the money belonging to the county, and pays the same on warrants drawn by the Commissioners. He also receives taxes due the Commonwealth, such as hotel and mercantile licenses, and pays the same to the State Treasurer. It is also a part of his duty to collect the county and State taxes, and for that pur- pose sits in each district at a certain time and place designated by himself.
11. DIRECTORS OF THE POOR .- There are three Directors of the Poor in Montgomery County elected for three years-one each year. Vacancies are filled by the remaining Directors. They have the general supervision of the Almshouse and of the poor of the county. They elect the Steward and other officers, in whom is vested the management of the Almshouse.
99
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
The expenses are paid by the County Treasurer by orders drawn by the Directors. They also make a re- port of the receipts and expenditures at the close of each year. The Directors of the Poor of Montgom- cry County act under a special law ; other counties have different laws.
12. AUDITORS .- There are three Auditors in each county, elected for a term of three years. They are elected in the same manner as the County Commis- sioners. They meet at the county seat on the first Monday in January of each year and audit, ad- just, and settle the accounts of the Commissioners, Treasurer, Directors of the Poor, and Prison In- spectors.
13. COUNTY SURVEYOR .- The County Surveyor is elected for three years. He surveys all unclaimed land and adjusts the boundaries of townships. In this county his duties are little more than nominal.
14. JURY COMMISSIONERS .- There are two Jury Commissioners elected for a term of one year. Each elector votes for one person, but the two having the highest number of votes are elected. They, with the Judge of the Courts and Sheriff, fill the jury wheel with names of citizens of the county to be drawn as jurors of the different courts. These names are drawn from time to time by the Sheriff in the presence of the Jury Commissioners, as jurymen are needed for the different sessions of the courts.
100
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
15. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS .- The County Superintendent of Schools is elected for a term of three years by the School Directors of the various districts of the county in convention assembled. Va- cancies are filled by appointment of the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction.
It is the duty of the County Superintendent to visit the public schools of his county as often as practica- ble; note the methods of instruction and government practiced ; inquire into the organization of the school; see that in every district the common branches shall be taught and that scholars are pursuing the proper studies, and in sufficient number ; examine into the classification and see that a uniformity of text-books is in use, and from such observations, offer suggestions and encouragement to teacher and scholars, as he may deem necessary and expedient.
He must hold annual examinations of teachers in the several districts of the county, and hold a Teach- ers' County Institute each year. He also makes an annual report of the schools of his county and for- wards it to the Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg.
16. PRISON INSPECTORS .- The Prison Inspectors are appointed by the County Commissioners with the approval of the Court. They elect the warden and other prison officers, visit each prisoner at least once a month, and have general supervision of the prison.

SECTION III .- COURTS.
1. DEFINITION .- A Court, in law, is a body in the government to which is delegated the public adminis- tration of justice, when regularly convened at the proper time and place.
2. KINDS .- Of the United States Courts there are three in relative importance and jurisdiction, the Su- preme, Circuit, and District Courts. In Pennsylvania the courts are the following : Common Pleas, Quarter Sessions, Oyer and Terminer, and Orphans' Court. Any one aggrieved by the decision of any of these courts may, in a proper case, have his case appealed to the Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the State, where mistakes of the lower courts will be cor- rected.
a. The Court of Common Pleas has jurisdiction to try and determine all civil actions or suits. It has jurisdiction in assigned estates, and in the naturaliza- tion of foreigners.
b. The Court of Quarter Sessions has jurisdiction to try all crimes and misdemeanors against the Com- monwealth, except those over which the Oyer and Terminer has exclusive jurisdiction. All bridges and roads are authorized by this court, as well as the estab- lishment of new townships, the boundaries and divi- sions of election districts, of independent school districts, and the filling of vacancies of township officers.
102
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
c. The Court of Oyer and Terminer tries all high crimes, known as felonies, such as murder, arson, burg- lary, robbery, and treason against the State.
d. The Orphans' Court has jurisdiction over the estates of decedents ; settles and adjusts the accounts of executors and administrators, and distributes the estate among those entitled to it. This court appoints guardians for minors, and has general supervision of their estates. It also decides on the validity of a will, or the right to administer to a decedent's estate, upon appeal from the decision of the Register of Wills.
The regular sessions of the several courts of Mont- gomery County are held the first and the second weeks of the months of March, June, September, and De- cember, at which jury trials are held.
During the first weeks of February, May, August, and November the courts are open for argument upon questions of law before the Judge.
Special Courts may be called at any time by the Judge for the trial of causes.
The Orphans' Court is open at all times for many purposes which can be performed by the Judge at Chambers.
3. TRIAL BY JURIES .- Trial by jury is as old as the common law of England, upon which all our laws are founded, and as venerable.
The Constitution of the United States, in Art. III,
:
103
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Sec. 3, provides that the trial of all crimes (except in case of impeachment) shall be by jury, and in the 4th amendment-" In all criminal prosecutions the ac- cused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury," and by the 3d amend- ment, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment before a Grand Jury." By amend- ment VII-In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed $20, the right of jury shall be preserved. The Constitution of Penn- sylvania in the Bill of Rights, Sec. 6, says : " Trial by jury shall be as heretofore, and the right thereof remain inviolate."
In Pennsylvania, where the amount in controversy exceeds $5.33, a trial by jury is demandable.
In criminal cases the jury are judges of the law and the facts, while in civil suits the jury's only province is to determine facts disputed, while the court declares the law.
In Pennsylvania there are two kind of juries, viz .: Grand and Petit.
1. A GRAND JURY consists of 24 men drawn from the body of the county (any number between 12 and 23 being necessary to do business) to whom are submitted bills of indictment against various prisoners. It is the duty of the Grand Jury to inquire from an examination of the witnesses of the prosecu- tion if a prima facie case is made out against the pris-
104
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
oner, such as to compel him to answer. No witnesses for the defense are heard before the Grand Jury. They do their work alone in privacy, and no one is allowed to divulge what occurs in the jury room. If 12 or more of the members sitting agree that the Commonwealth has made out such a plausible or rea- sonable case, then they return the same " A True Bill." If 12 of their number do not so find, they return it "Not a True Bill." A Grand Jury is also authorized to visit, inspect, and report upon the condition of the public buildings of the county, and make such recom- mendations as they may think right and proper. The Grand Jury has nothing to do with civil suits.
2. PETIT JURY .- A Petit Jury consists of 12 men. A panel of 36 or 48 men are drawn to sit for one week ; out of this number 12 are selected by lot to try each case. They are then sworn, listen to the tes- timony of both sides, and the speeches of the counsel, after which the Judge charges them, giving them brief instructions on the law governing the particular case. They then retire and determine the matter. This determination is called a "Verdict," which means a true saying. In order to reach a verdict all 12 must concur in the same finding.
In criminal cases they must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the accused before they can convict.
In the civil court the weight of the testimony must determine the verdict.
