Jt is not an uncommon practice, as it was made to appear at the hearing, for lawyers to go to the Recorder's Court and nflet Judgment of guilty has been rendered, to notify the police au thorities of the Intention to certiorari and give bond, and the law allows them thirty days In which to get the Judge to sanction the certiorari. No other action is ever taken In some forty-odd cases, it develop ed, during the year, notices had been given of tbe intention to certiorari, but no subsequent action was ever taken, and upon the statement that they were not filed in the Superior Court they were dismissed, and the parties who have avoided the enforcement of the sentence will now he re-arrested, or (he sentences whatever they he, he en forced. In addition, a large number were heard and disposed of the exact, num ber approximating one hundred. Nearly all of the certlorarles now pending by the action of today, from Ihe Recorder’s Court, have been tried, and the Recorder's Court and (he Chief of Police will start off with practically a ' loan sheet on Ihe first of January. The law on certlorarles Is one of the peculiar laws on (he hooks. A party has thirty days In which to ask for a certiorari, and ninety days In which to file It after It Is sanctioned. Efforts have been made to change the law. and the city council recommended to the legislature about three years ago, that this law he changed, and require the filing of the certiorari ns soon as It Is sanctioned, hut the legislature failed to pass It, and Ihe ancient law remains, and is one of Ihe evidences of the de lays of the law which arc frequently referred to as bringing the law In dis repute.
