209. No justice of the peace for said county shall engage in
the discharge of his duties as justice in a bar-room of a tavern
or public house of that character; and any justice so offending
shall be liable to indictment by the grand jury of said county,
and on conviction shall be fined twenty dollars, to be paid to
the County Commissioners of said county for the use of the
county; and on a second conviction shall be disqualified from
holding office.

210. It shall be the duty of the County Commissioners, on
the last Tuesday in April in each year, to appoint one of the
constables in each district of the county to inspect licenses in
the district; and the constables so appointed shall visit every
