lowing the principle of complete mo:
blllzatlon of the Judicial force, and In
conformity with recommendations of
numerous bar associations and Judges,
the revised Constitution provides for
the consolidation Into one tribunal of
all the criminal courta within the city
of New York except the Supreme Court
having jurisdiction superior to that
of Maglatrates and Special Resnlons
Courts.
In this respect the convention fol
lowed the example recently aet by the
Legislature in uniting all the Courta
of Special Sessiona ln the five coun
ties into one Court of Special Ses
sions for the city of New Tork, hav
ing Jurisdiction In minor criminal
caaea, and ln the case of the Munici
pal Court of the city of New York,
which Is a similar conaolldatlon of the
local Inferior courts of civil Jurisdic
tion. The revised Constitution provides
that from and after January 1. 1917,
the Jurisdiction of the Court of General
Sessiona of the city of New Tork shall
be extended throughout the city, and
there shall be devolved upon It In

the precedent established In M4 re-

i perlor Court of the . ity of N'w York
I mid the Court of Common Pleas of
the city and county of Naw York with
the Supreme Court Is followed, and
tho provisions relating to the consotl
datlon of the courts and the extension
f Jurisdiction are made to take
effect .inly at the evpli.itioii of on.

tilth. n. so as tn enable tin- ne. (sssnry
srrangementg for those changes to
be perfected ami the appropriate leg
islation enacted without inconvenience
I w tne punuc
There are a number of provisions
included ln Ihe proposed amendments
dealing with Inferior local courts. I'n
der the Const It ut Ion of 1 SU4 It baa
been held that the Legislature cannot
extend tin. Jurisdiction Of a local court
beyond the limits ot the city or vil-
lago ln which it is established. This
limitation has given rise t. great in-
convenience In cases, for example,
where a looaj coun of igifcrjor tuns-
diotitM is established In a village ami
the Legislature prevented from an
thO rising its process to lie served in
the town In whlcti tho village is es- 1
tubllshod.
it Is therefore provided in S.srtion
22 that the Legislature may provide
that the territorial Jurisdiction of any
Inferior local court now existing or
hereafter established In any city or
village, or of Justices of the peace In
cities, shall extend throughout the
county In which euoh court or Justice
is located, and also throughout BUOh
city or village. Irrespective of town
or county lines.
It la further provided lli.it the Leg
islature may create civil divisions,
consisting of not to exceed throe con
tiguous towns or parts thereof, for
the purpose of establishing in such
dlstiicls inferior local courts having
territorial jurisdiction throughout the
county or counties in which such
towns are situated.
These provisions nre designed to tin-
tie the hands of the Legislature In es
tablishing inferior local courta to meet
the needs of particular communities,
Irrespective of the lines of civil di
visions established for legislative and
administrative governmental purposes.
ln connection with such courta It Is
provided In Section 19 that Justices of
the peace, city magistrates and all
other Judicial officers whose election
or appointment la not otherwise pro
vided for In the Judiciary article, may
be elected In the several cities of the
State, or In any boroughs contained
within a city, or within districts cre
ated for that purpose, or may be ap
pointed by aoms of the local authori
ties of the several cities In such man
ner, with such power and for such
terma, reapectlvely, as may lie pre
scrllred hy law, and that boards of su
pervisors or other officials exercising
power now vested In such bnards may
fix the compensation to be paid or al
lowed to Justices of the peace ln towns
or cities for their services in criminal
matters. The Legislature is also em
powered to regulate hy law the num
ber, classification snd duties of Jus
tices of the peace.
The Judiciary Committee reported to
the convention ln favor of empowering
the Legislature to preacrlbe the quali
fications of Justices of the peace, but
that was stricken out by amendment
In the convention. The country mem-

l'lnally, to place the legislation of
this .state upon the highest plane of
modern humane thought in dealing
with children whose parents arc un
able to properly control them, the
Legislature is empowered to establish
Childrsn's Courts and Courts of Po-
in. stic Relations, either as separate!.
courts, or parts of existing courts, orl
courts hereafter to be created, and to I
ismfer upon them such equity and!
other Jurisdiction as may bamecessary I
for the correction, protection, guard-
ssnshlp and disposition of delinquent,
neglected or dependent minors, and
f..r the punishment gad correction of
adults responsible for or contributing

or children who abandon or neglect to

I Jurisdiction SUCh courts axe omp..w

involving a felony.

Legislature to deal with these sub

fare of our people In SUJOh manner ns

Judgment of the time may dictate! un

ML, liiloloou , Ineliio. ot.o
a number of miscellaneous utunJ. 1
menta designed to improve the admin
lstratioii of Justice. It conllrms the
power of the Court of Appeals, at
present dependent wholly on statute,
to determine the qualillcat ions and
prescribe tho rules regulating the ad
mission to practise of uttorneys and
counsellors in the courts of the State.
Kxcopt in the case of the consolida
tion of the ofllces of County Judge
and Surrogate, or to maku the com
pensation of the Judges of Die Court
of Appeals equal to that of any Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, it provides
that tho compensation of a Judge in
justice of any court of record in the
Btate shall be neither increased nor
decreased during the term of office
for which he was elected or ap
pointed. It Increases the limit of the amount
whlcfh may be sue for ln the County
Courts from $2,000 to $S,000, and em
powers tbe Legislature to extend their
Jurindlcrlon not only to cases whore
the defendant Is a resident of the
county but also to embrace those
where the defendant has nn office for
the transaction of business In the
county and the cause of action arose
therein. It authorizes a Surrogate of
a county to hold a Surrogate's Court
In any other county when requested
by the Surrogate of that county. It
authorizes the Legislature to provide
for the appointment of a CommlR
sloner of Jurors in any oounLy In a
county In the First and Second Judi
cial Districts by the respective Appel
late Livlalia of tbe department em
bracing such counties, am ln a county
in any other Judicial district by the
Justices of the Supreme Court resident
In the district embracing such county.
Except In New York county It has
been held by the Court of Appeals
that the Legislature cannot empower
the courts to appoint the Jury Com
missioners, but they must be elected
or chosen by the local authorities of
the county. The proposed amendment
would ennble t.he legislature to take
the office of Jury' Commissioners en
tirely out of politics and vest It where
It properly belongs. In the bands of
the court.
Finally, provision is made to enable
tbe Legislature to establish a system
of State registration and guaranty
of title to feal estnte
such as the
