The new Municipal Court of Atlanta will be made the object of a deter mined attack from the Justices of the peace who will be ousted January 1 by the incoming tribunal, according to statements made by the law firm of Gober & Jackson, who have been re tained by a number of the justices to lead their fight. Two other justices, W. T. Jordan and G. W. Seeley, will make separate attacks on the new court Although none of the justices r r their attorneys will give any inkling of their plans, it is generally under- | stood In court circles that the legal action will be brought in the Federal Court, since the Justices and their attorneys consider their strongest card the allegation that the new court violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. It is thought probable that an in junction to prevent the new court from organizing and starting its work will be asked, which would allow the old justices of the peace to remain in office until the case is finally settled Justices Seeley and Jordan, white they will base their fight also on the alleged constitutional violation, will depend more largely for success up)u the assertion that their territory is partly in and partly out of the city limits, and that therefore they are not affected by the new court. "ft will take an induction to pre vent me from running my court." said Justice Jordan. "I shall continue to operate after January 1 just as I \m operating now. and I don’t believe they will make any effort to stop mo." Justice Seeley declared that lie would, take the same stand. "My fight against the new court.’ j Justice Jordan continued, "is in the , hands of attorneys and will be > pressed. We shall make a number of allegations in our petition, among ; them that the court is unconstitution - i al because it proposes to discrimi nate. For instance: If a person lives outside of the city and brings a suit j against a person living in Atlanta, it will cost the non-resident $3. But if a 1 person living in the city brings a suit against a person living outside of the city, It costs the. plaintiff nothing."
