This was en application to the Judge
of the Superior Court for a certiorari ou
the ground that a Justice of tbe Feaee
of a militia district in whioh the peti
tioner did not reside had foreclosed t
laborer's or meohanie'slien and issued sn
execution. The oertiorari was refused,
the petitioner excepted. It does not ap
pear in Ihe petition that the lien fi. fa.
waa not to be levied on property and ex-
eonted in the militia dtotriot in which the
petitioner resided, or that she bad filed
a counter affidavit as reqnired by section
1270 of the Code, or if ahe had done ao,
that the proceedings would not have been
returned, end Ibe cose tried in this dto
triot in which she resided. Let the judg

John B. Worrill for plaintiff in error;

Sterling J. McG'rory vs. 8. A. Sellars,
Administrator. Ejectment, ,from
Schley:
WARNER, C. J.
This was an action of ejectment brought
by the plaint IT against tho defendant to
recover tho possession of a lot oi land
in the county of Schley. The plaintiff
offered in evidence the record book of
the Court of Ordinary, containing the
original order grrntin^ letters of admin
istration to tho plaintiff, which was ob
jected to, and the objection was over
rated by the Conrt. The plaintiff offer
ed in evidence an award of arbitrators,
set forth in tbe record, which wu ob
jected to, and tho objection was over
ruled. Tbe award had been made the
judgment oi the Superior Conrt The
fact that exceptions to the award had
deen filed and withdrawn, did not moke
it any the leas the judgment of tbe
Conrt. The record containing the orig
inal order granting tbe lettera of admin
Utntion, wu properly admitted in evi
deuce. Tbe defendant’s disclaimed title
to the land, and, under the charge of the
Court, the jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff We find no error in this rec
ord. Let the judgment ot the Court be
low be affirmed.

John W. Jones va. A. A. Adams. Com-
ptoint from Sumter.
WARNER, 0. J.
This wu a motion to set aside a judg
ment in the Court below, whioh had been
obtained on an open aocount without any
proof of the account before the Conrt,
the defendant not having been pereonally
served, hot tha Sheriff’s return shoved
that the defondtnt had been served by
leaving a copy at the defendant's. The
Oonstnation of 1868 declares that tha
Court shall render judgment without the
verdiat ot a jury in all eiviioaaas founded
on contract, when an issuable defense is
not filed on oath, bat the Court mast
have before it satisfactory evidence of
the contract. Tha 3405th section oi tbe
Code declares, that in ail cases oi
anito on open accounts ia the several
Courts ot tbto State, whan tha writ
or prooaaa has been served pereon
ally u the law now directs on the
defendant, and there to no defense made
by the party sued, either in person, or
by attorney, at the time the caas to eub-
mitted for trial, tha plaintiff shall be
permitted to take a verdict u if eeoh and
every item were proved by testimony.
When there has not been pereonat ser
vice of the writ or ptocemoa the defen
dant in a suit ou aa open eooount, the
plaintiff mutt prove hu aooount to the
•atiafaction ot the Court by oompeteat
testimony before he to entitled to a judg
ment, altnough no toauable defense has
been filed ou oath. An open aooount to
not such a oor. tract as tha Constitution

City Council of the city of American, to
enact the ordiuanoee under ihe author
ity of whioh the plaiutiff wu arrested.
But, it is said, the act of incorporation
and the ordinances are unconstitutional
because they authorize tho arrest to he
made without a written warrant or pro-
oese. The Code authorizes an arrest to
be made by aa officer or private person
without a warrant, when the offeusois
committed in hia presence, and there to
likely to be a failure oi jnstioe lor want
of an officer to issue a warrant. Code,
4G26, 4627. The provisions of tbe Code
upon tbto subject, is nothing more than
tbe affirmance of tbe principles of the
common law. 4th Black. Com. 292.
In eveiy case of an arrest without war
rant, tbe person arresting should, without
unreasonable delay, oonvoy the offender
before the most convenient officer au
thorized to receive an affidavit and issue
■a .1 rant, and tho fmprieonmout of the
offender bovond a reasonable timo allow
ed for this purpose, would not bo legal.
Oodo 4628. Tho Act of incorporation
empowers the Mayor and City Council
to establish and regulate a city guard,
Who aboil have the right to take up all
disorderly persons committing or at
tempting any crime, and to commit them
to the guard house, to await their (rial
the next day. By tbe 28th section oi tho
Ordinances of tho Oity, it is made the
duty oi tho Marshal, Deputy Marshal
and Policemen to presetvc order in the
city, to suppress ail affrays and riots, to
arrest all drunken, disorderly or riotous
persons who sre disturbing the peace and
3 uiet of the city, and commit thoui to
te guard-house, or bring them bo-
fore the Hsyor, to be dealt with as
the evidence produced shall warrant.
Ia the opinion of tbe General Assem
bly, in conferring tho power upon the
Mayor and Council of the city ot Amer-
ious to pass the ordinanoe under whioh
tbe plaintiff wu arrested, his arrest and
detention in the guard houso without a
warrant nntii the next day to await his
trial, wu not an unreasonable delay in
bringing the offender before tho proper
officer for a hearing. Construing the
Constitution in the light of the common
tow in regard to arrests without a war
rant, the Act of tho General Assembly
conferring the power upon the City
Conneil, or the ordinance thereof now
complained of, are not unconstitutional.
The arrest ana detention of the plaintiff
without a written warrant, until tho next
day for a hearing of hto coso before the
Mayor, nnder the statement of faots dis-
oloeed in the record, wu not illegal.
Whilst it ia the duty of the courts to
proteot the liberty ot (he citizen, it to also
the duty of the courts to protect society
against the wanton and illegal exercises
of that liberty.
The plaintiff at the trial objected t<
those of the jurors included in the psnel
of twenty-four who resided within the
corporate limits of tho city of Amcricus,
for caoso, being incompetent jurois to
try tho case. Tho objection was over
ruled and the plaintiff excepted. What
number of tho twenty-four resided within
tho city limits, or whether they were all
stricken by tho plaintiff in selecting the
jury, the record docs not inform ns. Ac
cording to tho rnling of this court in the
oase of Tho Mayor of Oolumbas vs.
Gootchius — seventh Georgia Reports
139—the jurors who resided within
tbe corporate limits of the city wore in
competent jurors, and it wu error in tbe
oourt in overruling the objections to
them. But in our judgment, inasmuch
u the verdict of the jury in this ease
was right, both nndor tbs law and tho
faots of the cue, and a different verdict
should not have been rendered by any
jury, wo will not revoreo the judgment
of the court lieiow on tho ground of tho
objeotion to a portion of tlie jurymen
oouatitnting the psnel ot twcuiy-four,
nor for any technical errors in the charge
of the court below. Let tho judgment
of the court below bo affirmed.
