Peace.
EVery Justice of Peace hath Authority and power given
him (by the
first Assignavimus, or Clause in the Commission) to keep and cause
to be kept the Kings Majesties Peace; by force of which words, they have
as well the ancient power touching the keeping of the Peace, which the
ancient Conservators of Peace had by the Common Law; as also all authority
which the Statutes since have added thereto: And so they may
cause to be kept all the Statutes and Laws now in force, which have
been
made for the Peace, or keeping thereof; and more especially they may arrest,
or cause to be arrested and sent to the Gaol, All Murtherers, Robbers,
and Felons, and all persons suspected of such things. |
