EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 899

any ordinance of said town shall be tried, shall be entitled to
receive the same fees as a Justice of the Peace would receive
for similar services.

If any offender shall be in default for the non-payment of
any fine and costs imposed, he may be proceeded against in a
civil action in the name of the Mayor and Council of Bruns-
wick in the same manner as suits are brought in this State, to
recover small debts.

The Police Justice shall be furnished with copies of the
ordinances of the town, and shall keep a separate docket for
Corporation cases and therein shall record and make regular
entries of his proceedings in all such cases, setting forth the
fine or imprisonment imposed and the amount of costs, and
he shall submit said docket to the inspection of any person
who may request to see the same; and upon demand of any
person interested he shall deliver a copy of any judgment ren-

under oath and interrogated as to the entries therein. He shall

him, and said fines shall be a part of the revenue of the town.

If the Police Justice neglects to discharge any of the duties
